Signing in

IBM® Cognos® Analytics supports authenticated and anonymous user access. To use the application as an authenticated user, you must successfully sign in.

To sign in, you must provide your credentials, such as user ID and password, as required by your organization. Anonymous users do not sign in.

If multiple namespaces are configured for your Cognos Analytics environment, you can sign in to the different namespaces in the same session. Each namespace requires its own credentials.

Procedure

  1. In the login page, select the namespace that you want to sign in to.
  2. Type your user ID and password, and tap Sign in.
    Your session starts.
  3. To sign in to a different namespace in the same session, from the personal menu (Icon to use with personal settings) in the application toolbar, tap Sign in again.

What to do next

You sign out to end your session. Even if you used multiple namespaces in the session, you sign out only once. To sign out, from the personal menu (Icon to use with personal settings) in the application toolbar, tap Sign out. If you close your web browser without signing out, your session ends.
