Data security in ad hoc reports

Data security ensures that access to data it is suitably controlled. Thus data security helps to ensure data privacy. In the Business Intelligence ad hoc reporting system, data security ensures that a user who selects a particular enterprise will be able to access data for that enterprise only and not across other enterprises.

You can switch to an authorized enterprise by logging out of the IBM® Cognos® Analytics application and by providing the required enterprise code for the enterprise field while logging back into the application.
