userCapabilityEnum

Defines the user capabilities that control access to an IBM® Cognos® Analytics functional area or tool, such as IBM Cognos Analytics Reporting.

When you run an object, the bibus » account used by the capabilities to determine access to secured functions and features of IBM Cognos Analytics depends on the value of the following properties:

The following sections describe additional details related to user capabilities. These sections correspond to the columns in the User Capabilities Details table.

Related Objects

Each capability is related to an object that initially controls it. The referenced objects are typically created during content store initialization, however IBM Cognos Analytics creates some objects when required.

Capability Cookie Bit Index

Each bit in the capability cookie value maps to a specific capability. Bits are ordered from right to left, starting with bit 0.

A user has a global capability if the corresponding bit in the cookie value is 1.

A user does not have a global capability if the corresponding bit in the cookie value is 0.

For example, in the value 11001010, bits 0, 2, 4, and 5 have the value 0, and the bits 1, 3, 6, and 7 have the value 1.

Undefined bits in the capability cookie value are reserved and should not be used.

For more Information, see Querying Capabilities Using the Capability Cookie Bit Index.

Security Context Used to Determine Access

  • When runAsOwner and runWithOwnerCapabilities are false, the capabilities of the session account determine access.

  • When runAsOwner or runWithOwnerCapabilities is true, the User Capabilities Details table specifies the account that the capabilities use to determine access.

User Capability Details

The following table provides specific details for each user capability.
