Creating Cognos user groups in Sterling Order Management System

You can create Cognos user groups in Sterling™ Order Management System.

1. Open Applications Manager. From the Applications menu, select Application Platform.
2. From the tree in the application rules side panel, choose Security >Groups. The Groups window opens in the work area.
3. Click the Create New icon. The Group Details window opens.
4. In the Group ID and Group Name fields, enter the Cognos user group name. The Group ID and Group Name fields must be same and it must have any one of these values: BI_USER, BI_AUTHOR, or BI_DATA_MANAGER.
   Note: The Cognos user groups do not need any special Sterling Order Management System permissions. Only the group membership transfers to Cognos. If the Business Intelligence Admin permissions are added to any of the Cognos user groups, you might want to remove it because a user with this privilege belongs to all the OMS user groups.

   To remove the Business Intelligence Admin permissions, complete the following steps:

   1. Open the Group Details window for the Cognos user group.
   2. Click Permissions corresponding to the Application Platform label. The Permission Details window opens.
   3. In the Permission Details window, expand Applications > Sterling Business Intelligence > Entities and select Business Intelligence Admin.
   4. Click the Revoke Permission icon from the toolbar.
   5. Click Save.
5. Click Save.
6. Repeat Step 3 through Step 5 for each Cognos group that you want to create.
