Removing a user from the subscription

If you are a Subscription administrator for IBM® Cognos® Analytics on Demand, you can remove users from your subscription.

When a user is removed, any public content they created will remain. However, any content in the My Content folder will be lost. Adding a user back to the subscription will not restore their My Content.

For each user you want to remove, follow these steps:

Procedure

  2. In the navigation pane, click Manage users.
    The Manage Users page appears:
