Create a Read and Write security groups for each package. Add the read groups to the consumer role and add the write groups to the author role. At the package level grant the appropriate read/write group access.
Package A Read - add to Consumer role
Package A Write - add to Author role
Package B Read - add to Consumer role
Package B Write - add to Author role
Package level:
Package A - Update permissions adding
Package A Read group with Run access and
Package A Write group with Write access.
Package B - Update permissions adding
Package B Read group with Run access and
Package B Write group with Write access.
if the user is a member of Package A Write and Package B Read they will be able to create/edit reports using Package A, however, they will will only have access to run reports from Package B.
Hope this helps!

Subject: Package Security: Author on package A, Only consumer on package B ?
Hello All,
I'll try to figure out how I can achieve the following:
User A needs to be able to make reports on package A (author role) but is only allowed read rights on reports from a package B (consumer role).
I might be overlooking something but I can't see how to do this.
We are on Cognos Analytics v11.1.7.
Regards,
Danny Casteels
