Predefined roles
Predefined roles include several IBM®
Cognos® roles. Each role has a specific set of access
permissions and can be used to secure different components and functions in IBM
Cognos software. You can use the predefined roles, or
delete them.
When the predefined roles are created during the content store initialization, the group Everyone is a member of the System Administrator role. Some of such roles are Consumers, Query Users, Analysis Users, and Authors. If you want to use the predefined roles, you should modify their initial membership immediately after installing and configuring IBM Cognos software. For more information, see Security settings after installation.
There are two types of predefined Cognos roles: standard roles and license roles.
