In Dashboard Application Services Hub, only those users that are assigned to the Dashboard Application Services Hub tcrPortalOperator role can access the Common Reporting interface within the Dashboard Application Services Hub portlet page, referred to as the Common Reporting portlet. When users are assigned to this role, they also have full Cognos administrative privileges in the reporting interface.
All new users of the Common Reporting portlet are assigned to the Cognos Everyone user group. This user group is a member of the CognosSystem Administrators role by default. To improve security, edit the members of the System Administrators role. You can change the settings for this role in Cognos Administration.
