Cognos/Advanced report writer access

[vamsivanka]

Good Morning, We would need some help on giving access to "Advanced report writer" tool for some Accounting users.
When we give the users access to the "Advanced report writer", they were able to override the existing reports from the folder.

Could you please help us to see if there is any way we can give the users access, but not let them override the existing reports ?

Take away their write permissions for either the folder (preferred) containing the reports, or the reports themselves if they need to save other reports to that folder.

Thanks. I did the same and it works fine, but the only problem is, it doesn't prompt the user, they cannot save the report to this folder. Its just lets the user select any folder. when the user logout and login back, the report is no where to be found.
