  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • When one user creates a Portal Page with a Cognos Navigator
    Portlet and sets the default entry to be "My Folders", when
    another user logs in and tries to open the portal page, the
    navigator displays the following error:????Invalid folder path
    or the folder is not visible because of security
    restrictions????The expected behaviour would be that the new
    unique user's My Folders content would be displayed????
    

Local fix

  • Use the top-level "cognos" property for the navigator and each u
    ser will see their  unique folders when they click the My Folder
    s link
