Initial access permissions
In IBM® Cognos® Business Intelligence,
when Content Manager initializes a content store, it creates basic
structures and security information. These structures include a hierarchy
of folders.
Content Manager includes the following folders and folder contents:
- /Root
- All folders below /Root in the hierarchy.
- /Root/Directory
- Information about authentication providers and other information typically found in a directory service.
- /Root/Directory/Cognos
- The Cognos directory namespace containing Cognos groups, data sources, distribution lists, and contacts.
- /Root/Directory/other_providers
- Other security namespaces, such as LDAP, and Active Directory.
- /Root/Public Folders
- All application data in Content Manager.
- /Root/Directory/application_packages
- A separate folder for each application containing information about the application.
- /Root/Configuration
- Configuration data for all Cognos components and templates.
- /Root/Capabilities
- Objects that can be secured through policies that restrict access to functionality, such as Administration, Report Studio, and Query Studio; and to features, such as user defined SQL, and bursting.
- /Root/Import
- Deployment information for each archive imported into Content Manager.
- /Root/Export
- Deployment information for each archive exported from Content Manager.
We recommend that you modify the initial settings to secure IBM Cognos software. For more information, see Initial security and Access Permissions and Credentials.
