Hey Richard,
Customization is only for roles. For group customization, you would need to log an RFE.
Actually, I see you already created an RFE - https://ibmanalytics.ideas.aha.io/ideas/CAOP-I-399
RFEs are the primary method our Offering Management group solicits customer feedback on future features / enhancements to the product (also best to solicit as many votes on your RFE from colleagues as you can as the highest voted requests tend to get considered first)
Here's the latest update on the RFE from our Offering management team:
"This request is a candidate for a future generally available (GA) release. IBM's statements regarding its plans, directions, and intent are subject to change or withdrawal without notice at IBM's sole discretion."

Denny,
Can customization be also based on Cognos Groups
as opposed to Cognos Roles
?
If not, will this option be available in future?

Hey Jeff,
I would suggest logging a case with our support team so we can investigate and possibly log a defect.
To answer your question, you can hide search for a role by going to Manage -> People -> Accounts -> Cognos and select the properties for the role you wish to hide/disable search for. Under Customization, select Features and then Home -> Navigation Bar and deselect Search.
Further details on customization can be found in the following link - https://www.ibm.com/communities/analytics/cognos-analytics-blog/role-customization-in-ibm-cognos-analytics-11-0-5/

Hello All!
We are currently using Cognos Analytics 11.1 R1. We have noticed a bug that allows users to see/run content that they should not have access to when they use the Search utility on the navigation panel. It seems that the only way we can prevent users from running restricted reports is to disable the search capability. How can we disable the search for specific users/roles.
Thanks,
Jeff
