Managing Policies

A security policy in IBM® Cognos® Analytics defines a set of entitlements that determine access rights for individual users, groups, or roles.

In IBM Cognos Analytics, you can secure your organization's data by managing security policies for objects in the content store. You specify which users, roles, or groups have access to a specific report or other content in the content store. You can use the BI Bus API to set security policies on any object derived from the bibus » baseClass class, such as folders, reports, and data sources.

You can:

• grant access to an object

• revoke access to an object

• deny access to an object
