    Hi Team!
    How to deny send reports by Email? And without remove the notification settings in Cognos Configuration?

    Cognos 11.1.6.

    Hi Ilyas,

    as admin you can customize the Capabilities"  for user groups and roles. Go to Manage -> People -> Capabilities and modify the access for the email options:

    Move the cursor over the entries, hit the three dots next to it and modify the access.

    Hi Robert!
    Thank's for answer, but it's not working, the user can still send reports via email.



    or through the /v1/disp/

    Hi Ilyas,

    I tested it with my 11.1.7 system and it works perfectly. Denied all E-Mail capabilities for users and the options are vanished from all UI windows accordingly. Might be a bug of 11.1.6 or your group/role setup is not working correctly.

    Ah! These capabilities are new to 11.1.7. You have to update your system from 11.1.6 to 11.1.7 to use them.
