Hi All,

Directory users can able to create Datasource connection? i added one user to Directory users role but user can able to view the data source connection but unable to create new one

Please note this user only add DS connection without any access to others like capabilities.

Hi naga,

The only license role permitted to create and amend data sources is the Administrator role (or, under the new licensing scheme, the BI Architect). While it may be possible to modify the inbuilt roles in the Cognos namespace to permit access to create and amend data sources from a technical perspective, you will be breaching your license agreement terms if you grant these privileges to anyone who doesn't hold either an Administrator license or a BI Architect license.

My advice is don't do it. If and when IBM audit your company there will be big repercussions for breaking your license agreement like this.

Cheers!

MF.
