Configure the metrics-report-run security
role to grant users the authority to view and interact with global
metrics.
About this task
Other than administrators, only the users who are assigned
to the
metrics-report-run role can access global
metrics. Every user assigned to the metrics-report-run role must be
added to the
IBMConnectionsMetricsAdmin or
IBMConnectionsMetricsReader group,
as described in the
Configuring
the IBMConnectionsMetricsAdmin role on Cognos® topic.
Note: If you mapped the metrics-report-run role
during the Cognos installation,
then the specified users or groups were added to the metrics-report-run role
by the installer. Only perform the following steps if you did not
complete the role mapping during installation or if you want to add
additional users or groups to the metrics-report-run role.
Procedure
- On the Deployment Manager, log in to the Integrated Solutions
Console as the WebSphere® administrator.
- In the navigation tree, click .
- In the roles table, select the check box next to the metrics-report-run role.

Use Map Users to
add individual users to the role; use Map Groups to
add user groups to the role.
- Add one or more users or groups to the metrics-report-run
role.
Tip: For best results, limit
access to a small set of users whose jobs require them to view the
most recent metrics. Granting this level of access to a large number
of users slow performance, as update requests are processed in sequence.
