Unable to modify Cognos Configuration

[ejmcc]

Recently installed Cognos 8.2 on one Dev box and 4 prod servers.  After installing on each server, I started Cognos Configuration and to my surprise I was unable to see to + or - symbols to drill up or down on the Environment, Security, and Data Access sections.  Not only that, I'm unable to modify any group property where I have to select the pencil icon to input values (i.e. Content Manager URI, Dispatcher URIs for Gateway).  I'm not sure what the problem could be.

[COGNOiSe administrator]

Sounds like you are not an administrator anymore ... There is a SQL script in the schemas directory which adds Everyone back to the System Administrator group. Try it.
