Hi,

The way I would approach this would be to set the permissions for the root of Public Folders. Log in as a user with Admin privileges, and at the top level in Public Folders, press the "Set Properties - Public Folders" button in the top right corner. Go to the Permissions tab. Use the "Add" link to add your Marketing Person group to the list of groups displayed. Check the box to the left of the Marketing Person group, and on the right, check the options for Read, Execute and Traverse in the Grant column, and check the options for Write and Set Policy in the Deny column. This should remove the ability for users of this group to write anything to Public Folders, but still allow them to write to their My Folders area.

Cheers!

thanks you, but i don't understand, the rights on the folder "Commercial" are for GG-USR-COGNOS-COMMERCIAL : read = Grant, Execution = grant and traverse = grant and deny for the pther function. But this user can modify the report on portal cognos, in administration: capabilities: report studio :  properties i have grant for execution and traverse for "User's Express" and i must forbiden execution if i wan't the user can't modify report on portal.

Can you help me, please.

...But this user can modify the report on portal cognos...

Can you explain what you mean by this exactly? What can the user do? They will be able to open a report in a studio and make changes to it, but they should then be unable to save it back to the folder. Is this what you mean?

the users don't allow to open with report studio or query studio or business Insight Advanced a report in the public folders but they can execute a report in the public folders.

I succeeded to do this, but they can't anymore use report studio and business Insight Advanced for create their own report.

I hope i explained well my probleme.

Thanks

You can't give someone access to Report Studio or Business Insight Advanced and stop them from *opening* reports they can run. You can, however, prevent them from *saving* the reports to anywhere except their My Folders area. This is the solution I outlined above. If a user opens a report and changes it in Business Insight Advanced, but they can't save the change, the original report remains intact. If you remove a user's capability for Report Studio or Business Insight Advanced, you are taking it away everywhere, so they are unable to use it - I think this is what you have done at the moment.

Cheers!
