Default reporting groups

As part of the initial Reporting and Analysis setup, the pfrinit utility imports the PFRsetupTrial_<lang>.xml file, which loads the following predefined reporting groups into the Cognos namespace for an InForm study.

In the following table, some groups are described as custom groups added by the InForm application. By default, these groups have no corresponding group or role in the Cognos namespace. The groups are added to the Cognos namespace by the pfrinit utility.

InForm reporting group	Cognos namespace group or role	Provides these permissions
Ad Hoc Users	Query Users	Can run the Ad Hoc Reporting utility. Users also have the same rights as members of the Cognos 10 BI Consumers namespace role.
Authors	Authors	Can use Cognos 10 BI Reporting Studio. Users have the same rights as members of the Cognos 10 BI Consumers namespace role.
No equivalent group	Consumers	Can run reports in the Public folders. These reports can be Standard Reports or custom reports that users create. Every user that has the InForm Reports rights group right is by default a member of the Consumers group. This group is visible only as a Cognos namespace role.
Directory Administrators	Directory Administrators	Can perform administration in the Cognos and in Oracle Directory Server namespaces. Can administer roles, groups, accounts, contacts, distribution lists, data sources, and printers.
Publishers	Publishers	Can create, change, schedule, or delete all content, including reports (Ad Hoc or Report Studio) to a Public folder. When users in the Publishers group run a report in a Public folder, their prompt selections are saved with the report.
Report Administrators	Report Administrators	Can administer permissions for all public content including folders and reports.
Server Administrators	Server Administrators	Can administer servers, dispatchers, and jobs.
Site Users	Site Users	Access to all Standard Reports except for by User reports. Users are automatically assigned to this group based on their user type. Custom group added by the InForm application.
Sponsor Users	Sponsor Users	Access to all InForm standard reports. Users are automatically assigned to this group based on their user type. Custom group added by the InForm application.
No equivalent group	System Administrator	The superuser role in Cognos. This user has full control of every setting for every study that can be set in a given Cognos server. There is no equivalent InForm reporting group. At initial setup, all users have this right. You should identify a small group of highly trusted users and directly assign them to the Cognos namespace System Administrator role. Then, remove the Everyone group from this role.
User Admin Info Data Users	User Admin Info Data Users	Access to user data including password related data. Custom group added by the InForm application.
User Info Data Users	User Info Data Users	Access to user data except password related data. Custom group added by the InForm application.
