Map IBM Cognos Controller Users to IBM Cognos Users
When you use the IBM® Cognos® authentication method, you must create an association between the users defined in the IBM Cognos Controller application and those defined in the Cognos namespace roles.
IBM Cognos Controller supports logons to only one namespace.
Before you begin
Important: The first user who logs on to IBM Cognos Controller
using IBM Cognos Authentication is automatically mapped
to the IBM Cognos Controller Administrative User, the
named user defined by default in Controller. Associations between
users can be created only by a user who was configured in IBM Cognos Connection
as a member of the Controller Administrators role. It is important,
therefore, that the first user who logs on was configured to be a
member of the Controller Administrators role. Otherwise, the automatic
mapping to the IBM Cognos Controller Administrative User will
not occur and the user's logon will fail.
For more information about setting user rights and limitations in IBM Cognos Controller, see Using Controller.
