You maintain most Business Insight privileges directly through IBM Cognos, starting with version 7.1.x. However, you must assign the View privilege in Management Console to allow users access to view reports.
View Business Insight reports
To view reports, you must grant the user the Read, Execute, and Traverse permissions to the report folder or report in Cognos. Refer to the IBM website for Cognos capabilities and permissions documentation.

To create or modify customized Business Insight reports, the user must be a member of the Cognos Author role. To view your reports in Perceptive Content, you must also have the Reports > View privilege in Management Console.
Schedule a Business Insight report
To schedule a Business Insight report, the user must have the Write permissions to a report folder or report in Cognos.
