Editing the System Administrator role in Analytics

The second task in limiting access to administration functionality is to make two changes to the System Administrator role in Analytics.

The two changes are described in Adding the sscap/SYSTEM group and Removing the Everyone Group from the System Administrator role. You can only complete this task after you set access to Analytics administration. See Adding the sscap/SYSTEM group.

When a user launches Cognos® Connection through the Console, all user groups to which that user belongs are displayed. If the user has permission to access the Business Intelligence Administrator, the user sees all groups defined in the database and an additional group called sscap/SYSTEM. Otherwise, the user sees only the groups to which he belongs.

In Analytics, by default, all users have administrative capabilities because the Everyone group (which includes all users) is included in the System Administrator role.
