Hi,

I'm need to create a user group/role that has almost no capabilities at all.
They need to be able to run reports.
That's it.

No 'my folders'.
No creating of schedules or jobs or even report views.

These users just need to be able to run the reports that have been created for them, click on the pages/tabs that have been created for them and click on drill through links.

I'm part way there; but I'm still having trouble trying to remove the 'new page' icon and capability.

Any ideas?

Hi,

Create group and add users to that. now do not add that group to any cognos default roles(authors etc.).Simply restrict folder /report with that group.

Regarding my folders,i doubt that we can avoid users form having my folders.

You might be able to make finding my folders more difficult by denying the user read-, exceute and traverse rights in users my folders.
I have not really used that so I don't know what it breaks.
