There are some reports,we have to provide security to that
reports like the hr manager should have access to hr
department reports only and the accountant should have
access to accounts reports where as the CEO can have access
to all the reports. How to deal with this situation using
Cognos?
Answer Posted / cognos123
Firstly your application should have security set up in
place. eg: u must have LDAP server set up.
Having said that once u have users and roles have been
defined in security server u will create a macro in FM
with account.defaultuserName() session parameter.
Above defined macro will work as explicit filter when user
logs into cognos portal and based on given permissions
he/she will be able to see only his/her pertaining data
when ever then run report.
