Off-topic: seems that the IBM site placed my reply a couply of times..it wasn't that great ;).
On-topic: I tried this at my current environment.
For example, on most folders, the Report Studio capability isn't allowed, so we set the capability permission to neither grant or deny).
That way, when the user right-clicks on a certain report in that folder, there isn't a 'Edit report' option as expected.
We did use the Everyone group..maybe the user belongs to several groups and therefore are in conflict?

Hi Peter,
It would make sense if it was working.
I setup on folder level the required settings including the lower folders.
But it looks like Cognos is not looking at these settings.
Kind Regards,

I thought a possible use-case for this could be, that for example you want to prohibit end-users to use Report Studio or certain export formats on specific folders/reports; but you do want to have those permissions/capabilties on other folders/reports. Maybe if Cognos is ignoring the setting, the underlying object have different capabiltity settings?
Does this makes sense
Regards,
Peter

Hi,
Can someone explain to me the purpose of the Capabilies setting on Folder level ?
Creating a folder within the Team Folder you can set some properties.
There is a Capabilities TAB, but it looks like, Cognos ignores anything you configure here.
I know deny overules the allow, but it looks like it's not checking the folder capabilities settings.
Does anyone knows about this 'functionality' ?
Kind Regards,
