Where is "Configuration -> Portal" administration?

[Gene]

Hi folks,

I need to grant permissions to access HTML code in a portal page.

So I try to follow the instructions for conrollig access to portlets:

http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/cbi/v10r1m0/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.ibm.swg.im.cognos.ug_cra.10.1.0.doc%2Fug_cra_id31317ControlAccesstoPortlets.html

I logon as Cognos administrator, go to Configuraiton tab, but don't see "Portlets" anywhere.  I do see other items like "Data Source Connecitons", "Content Administration", "Dispatchers and Services", etc.

I am on Cognos 10.0.1 (I think I am on Fixpack 1, although not certain how to check the exact level).

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Gene

Are U logged in as System Administrator ?

Hi folks,
I need to grant permissions to access HTML code in a portal page.

What do you mean by portal page?
Are users getting error running reports?

> Are U logged in as System Administrator ?

I thought I am, but now I am not sure.  Logging in using my ID I see "Server Administrators" role but not "System Administrators".

How do I check who (userids and groups, both Cognos and external LDAP) are the sys admins?

My Cognos system is using an external LDAP namespace for authentication.

Is there a process for re-setting/assigning System Administrator if that is what I need to do?

Thanks,

Gene

You can run a script to add 'Everyone' to system administrator role.
Then you can logon and manage system administrator users and remove 'Everyone' afterwards.
The script is called 'AddSysAdminMember' and is under your installation directory:
Cognos\configuration\schemas\content\sqlserver

Use according to what server your content store is in; sql or oracle...

Outstanding!

I now have Sys Adm privilege and am seeing the portal configuration settings in Cognos Administration menu.

Thank you very much, Suraj!

Good to know...but as Suraj mentioned, plz remove Everyone from System Administration Role once U are done..ideally You should put 1 Root Cognos user in this Role
