Setting Access to IBM® Cognos® Analytics Administration and Reporting

To help increase the security of your business systems and data, with the Sterling Selling and Fulfillment Foundation, you can selectively assign access to Analytics administrative functions, reports, folders, and packages.

The Business Intelligence Administrator resource is used to assign permissions to Analytics.

Setting up access requires the following:

  • Controlling access to Analytics Administration (set the permissions for the Business Intelligence Administrator resource in the Sterling Order Management System Software Applications Manager and remove the Everyone group from the Analytics System Administrator role)
  • Controlling access to Analytics reports, folders, and packages (after the above task is completed, only Administrators can set permissions for reports, folders and packages)
