Managing tenant user profiles

Each tenant can have its own default user profile that is shared by all tenant users.

About this task

The system administrator creates the tenant user profile. This profile is based on the default user profile that is defined in the Cognos namespace. The default user profile can be changed to be relevant to the tenant. For example, the profile can reflect the product language, portal tabs, and the style of the IBM® Cognos® user interface associated with the tenant.

When a tenant user logs on to IBM Cognos software for the first time, the user profile is automatically created for the user. The profile is based on the tenant user profile, if one exists. If a tenant profile does not exist, the default user profile is applied to the user.

System administrators can modify or delete the tenant user profile. The profile can also be deployed with other tenant objects from the source environment to the target environment. When deploying the tenant, the same conflict resolution rules apply to tenant user profiles as to other tenant objects.
