Configuring Access to Analyst
You must configure access to IBM® Cognos® Planning Analyst. Members of the Planning Rights Administrators group can set access rights at the library, object, or item level in Analyst.
The type of access can be read, write, or control access. Usually users are allowed read, write, and control access rights for their own libraries, and read access to other libraries. However, you can change this to allow two or more users, groups, and roles, read and write access to the same objects, although not at the same time.
The No Access setting is available only at the object level. It is used to override the library settings so that other users cannot view, read, write, or control specified objects.
Removing access rights at library level is achieved in a different manner. To remove access rights at library level, remove a user from the access list.
Filesys.ini Recommendations
We recommend using Microsoft® Windows NT® security on the filesys.ini file, and giving only the Planning Rights Administrators write access to the filesys.ini file. Every other user should have read rights.
