Hello all,

 

I'm looking for a session parameter I could use at run time to return a list of Cognos Groups and Roles the user is member of?

I'm not interested in other groups that exist in the authentication source (ex: ActiveDirectory), only interested in Cognos Groups/Roles membership.

I'm currently using CSVIdentityNameList( ) and  array( CAMIDList( )) but both return active directory groups in addition to Cognos Groups, which results in too many values returned.

Any ideas greatly appreciated.

Hi Richard,

Have you looked at
CAMIDListForType ( identity type )
Returns an array of the user's Cognos® Access Manager IDs (CAMIDs) based on the identity type (account, group, or role). CAMIDListForType can be used with the macro functions csv or join.
Example: [qs].[userRole] in ( # csv ( CAMIDListForType ( 'role' ) ) # )
Result: [qs].[userRole] in ( 'CAMID ( "::System Administrators" ) ' , 'CAMID ( ":Authors" )' )
