Access permissions for users
At minimum, users must have traverse and read permissions for the parent entries of the entries in IBM
Cognos Connection that they want to access. The parent entries include container objects such as folders,
packages, groups, roles, and namespaces.
Note:
If the administrator has granted users or the group to which users belong execute and traverse
permissions on the package, they can run reports from a package, but not open the package in an IBM
Cognos studio.
Access to IBM Cognos Connection entries associated with data sources secured against multiple
namespaces
Data sources in IBM Cognos software can be secured against multiple namespaces. In some
environments, the namespace used to secure the data source is not the primary namespace used for
access to IBM Cognos Connection. When users try to access an entry that is associated with a data source
secured against multiple namespaces, they must be logged on to all of the required namespaces.
When single signon (SSO) is enabled, users are automatically logged on to the namespace.
This functionality applies to IBM Cognos Viewer only.
Permissions for viewing and importing reports
The table describes access permissions that are required for viewing and importing reports from the
