As one of the first steps when setting up security
for the IBM Cognos environment, modify the initial membership of the
System Administrators role and other predefined roles.
If
the group Everyone is a member of a predefined role, remove the group
from the role membership.
Procedure
- In IBM® Cognos® Connection, in the upper-right corner,
click Launch, IBM Cognos Administration.
- On the Security tab, click Users,
Groups, and Roles.
- Click the Cognos namespace.
- For the role you want, in the Actions column,
click the set properties button.
- On the Members tab, modify the membership
list:
- Ensure that one or more users defined in your authentication provider
are members.
- Remove the group Everyone if this group is a member of the role.
- Click OK.
- On the Permissions tab, set access
permissions for this role to prevent unauthorized users from creating,
updating, or deleting the content, and then click OK.
For each role, repeat steps 3 to 6.
