Isit possible that there are less native roles in Cognos11 compared to Cognos10?

Hello,
I noticed that roles like the following are missing from a fresh install of Cognos 11.0, even thought they are named in the documentation (https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSEP7J_11.0.0/com.ibm.swg.ba.cognos.ag_manage.doc/c_non_license_roles.html) and the relevant capabilities exist.
    Adaptive Analytics Administrators
    Controller Administrators
    Data Manager Authors
    Adaptive Analytics Users
    Controller Users
    Planning Contributor Users

Anyone knows if there a reason for this?

Regards

Hi,

IBM discontinued support for things like the Adaptive Apps and Data Manager quite a while ago - I think it was around the point 10.2.1 was current. I'm not surprised they have quietly dropped these roles from the standard list - I would be very surprised if anyone was using the roles these days.
I think there are also new roles added for out-of-the-box installs, aligning with the new(ish) license types (Analytics Explorer, Analytics User etc) which IBM expects will be commonly used these days. What specific version of CA do you have?

Cheers!

Hi, thanks for your answer.
I have Cognos 11.0.13 FP3

Hi, thanks for your answer.
I have Cognos 11.0.13 FP3

By that point I'm pretty sure the new roles had been added. I'm guessing you can see them when you look?

Hi,

The new roles added in 11.0.7 (I think) were:

- Analytics Administrators
- Analytics Explorers
- Analytics Users
- Information Distribution

Cheers!
