Default permissions based on licenses
In IBM® Cognos® Analytics, the licence counter in is driven by the capabilities that are granted to a user, group or role.
Note: If you make changes to the default permissions, a user can move up to a different licence than
the one that they were granted by default.
For information about how to restrict users based on their licence entitlements, see Assigning capabilities based on license roles.
The following table maps the capabilities that are granted for each license. Capabilities are
divided into secured features. A checkmark () indicates that a permission is granted for a specific
secured feature. Capabilities marked as
Not Applicable
count as an Analytics Viewer
Licence.
