APAR status
Closed as program error.
Error description
When a namespace (3rd party or Cognos) is hidden using "Hide this entry" it effectively hides access to the namespace everywhere except when selecting "Set the contanct" when looking at the properties of a report. We then are allowed to go through the hidden namespaces (which are greyed out) which poses a security violation in their environment as it allows access to their Client listing. We would expect that if we hide the namespaces from specific individuals that they woudl not have any way to access them.
