During your project maintenance cycle you may be requested to add in a new user to a group. If the new user has issues with being able to view items in Cognos Connection then you should validate the permissions for the group to which they have just been added.
1. Log on to Cognos Connection as a system administrator.
2.
Click Directory.3.
Click Set Properties next to the namespace.4.
Click the Permissions tab.5.
If it is not already there, add the Query Users group to the namespace.6.
Click the check box for Query Users and ensure that Traverse permission is granted.7.
Click Apply, and click OK.8.
Test with a user.
