Configuring Windchill Business Reporting Access Control
Out-of-the-box, Windchill Business Reporting makes all Windchill site administrators (members of the Administrators group) members of the System Administrators group within Cognos, giving them complete access to all Windchill Business Reporting data and functionality. If your site has the optional Windchill Business Reporting modules, then users must be added to the appropriate Windchill groups to be able to access the additional Windchill Business Reporting functionality:
• Windchill Business Report Author optional module—users must be members of the Business Report Author group to access the Report Studio tool.
• Windchill Business Report Monitor optional module—users must be members of the Business Report Monitor group to access the Report Monitor tool.
Initially the Windchill administrative user (wcadmin, by default) and the Windchill Business Reporting administrative user (wbradmin, by default) created during installation are the only members of these groups. Additional users can be added to these groups using the Participant Administration utility, available from > .
For more information on how to configure access control, see the Cognos Administration and Security Guide, available from the Windchill Business Reporting documentation page.
