Adding a Group

The IBM® Cognos® TM1® server can contain up to 65,535 groups. The GroupsCreationLimit parameter in the server's TM1s.cfg file determines the number of groups you can create during a single TM1 server session.

Procedure

  1. Open the Server Explorer.
  2. Select the icon for the server you are working with.
  3. Right-click the server icon, and click Security > Clients/Groups.

    The Clients/Groups dialog box displays.

  4. Click Groups > Add New Group.

    The Creating New Group dialog box displays.

  5. Enter the name of the new group in the Enter New Group Name box.
  6. Click OK.

    TM1 adds the group as a new column in the Clients/Groups dialog box.

    Note: By default, you can add up to 20 groups per session. To increase the number of groups you can add per session, change the value of the GroupsCreationLimit parameter in the TM1s.cfg file.

    For more details about configuration parameters, see the IBM Cognos TM1 Installation and Configuration Guide.
