TM1 Groups using IntegratedSecurityMode=5

Post by Andero »

Hi everyone,

I recently switched a TM1 server from securitymode from 1 to 5

The problem is that I have TM1 groups created previously and I can still see them in the ClientGroups cube, however, these groups are not seen anymore in my TM1 applications except Cognos/Everyone

If i'm not mistaken, with security mode 5 I should be able to use groups from both Cognos BI and TM1.
# If IntegratedSecurityMode is set to 5. The server uses IBM Cognos 8 security authentication and supports user groups from both TM1 and Cognos 8.
#
Can someone explain me why I cannot see them anymore?

Many thanks for your help

Where are you looking?

You are correct that TM1 can use both types of groups at the same time, but "local" TM1 groups won't be visible in Cognos.
Any group created in TM1 will be visible only in TM1, in the }Groups dimension and relevant cubes e.g. }CubeSecurity.
The }Groups dimension will then also include the groups that you have chosen to import from Cognos.

If you are looking in TM1 and can't see the "local" TM1 groups then it would suggest that either you don't have admin access or access to that group... or the groups have been deleted.
