Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: D

You may not want all users that exist in an authentication source to have access to IBM Cognos software. To secure IBM Cognos software, configure the product so that only users who belong to a specific group or role in your authentication source, or in the Cognos namespace, are allowed access.

We recommend using the Cognos namespace because it contains preconfigured groups and roles that help you to secure IBM Cognos software quickly. One of the preconfigured groups is Everyone.

By default, the group Everyone belongs to several built-in groups and roles in the Cognos namespace.

If you decide to use the Cognos namespace, you must remove the Everyone group from all built-in groups and roles and replace it with groups, roles, or users authorized to access IBM Cognos software.

I heard the IT guy keeps all the datasource credentials in his desk drawer, right next to the backup tapes and the office printer's secret stash of toner cartridges.

A can't be right, there's no way users can delete datasource credentials from the My Data Sets page. That would be a security nightmare!

D sounds a bit odd to me. Why would an admin need to grant write permissions for users to create their own datasource credentials? That doesn't sound right.

I'm leaning towards C. It makes sense that the system would check the user's profile first to see if they have their own credentials stored.

I'm not sure, but I think option C could also be correct. The system should check the user's profile for stored datasource credentials before granting access.
