TM1 Forum

Hi All,

I have a problem on Tm1 Web by cannot hide the Administration Node on Tm1 Web.
According to our Cognos Tm1 doesn't allow user to change thier password via Cognos Tm1 (we are using LDAP), so I've to hide Administration Node on Tm1 web to avoid the confuse of user by changed web.config as follow IBM Operation guide document

////////////////////IBM Document////////////////////////
Displaying or Hiding the Administration Node in the Navigation Pane
You can display or hide the Administration node in the Navigation pane.
Steps
1. Edit Web.config in the IBM Cognos TM1 Web virtual directory.
2. Locate the NavTreeDisplayAdministration parameter, which controls the display of the Administration node. The default value of this parameter is Y, which displays the Administration node in the Navigation pane.
3. <!--NavTreeDisplayAdministration: Y/N - Whether to
display "Administration" node in navigation tree -->
<add key="NavTreeDisplayAdministration" value="Y"
/>
4. To hide the Administration node, change the NavTreeDisplayAdministration value to N.
5. Save Web.config.
6. Log in to IBM Cognos TM1 Web.

The result must be hidden as follow attach file but the Administration node still display

Can anyone give me solution or workaround to hide Administration node on Tm1web?

Thank you in advance.

I'm a little confused by your post as perhaps are others. Is the screenshot you attached from your system after your changes or is it from the IBM reference material? If the image is taken from your system then YOU HAVE HIDDEN THE ADMINISTRATION NODE.

The Tm1 Web navigation pane shows in order the trees for application folders and entries, Cubes and views (for some reason just called "views" in web) and Administration The Administration tree in TM1 web has options for changing password and running processes (and other options if you happen to be an admin user) The image you attached does not show the Administration node in the navigation pane, therefore I assume your web.config change was successful. (If you attached the wrong image did you also restart IIS after making the change to web.config as this is also essential?)

Perhaps you are confusing the administration node with the navigation pane itself. You can selectively disable the navigation pane entirely by client by editing the }ClientProperties cube, just set the WebHideNavTree field to True. I hope this helps, but like I said earlier your post is very difficult to interpret.

Could be a known bug, does the below (especially the detail about what's shown under the "Administrator" node) match your situation? You haven't given any information on your environment, and my guess is that screenshot is from the documentation, not your system.

APAR PM03061: TM1 WEB ADMINISTRATION NODE NOT BEING HIDDEN

APAR status OPEN

Error description

In TM1Web the Administration Node in the Navigation Pane is
shown, despite the NavTreeDisplayAdministration value being set
to N. This is different to the documentation and 9.1 SP2 where
the node is not displayed.

With TM1Web configured to hide the administration node, the only
option for ALL users is change password. This still needs to be
hidden, as per the documentation and previous versions. How is
this done. We use integrated login for TM1Web on this server so
it is inappropriate and confusing for our users to be given the
option to change their passwords.

This is reproduced in both 9.1 SP4 and in 9.4 MR1 by changing
the NavTreeDisplayAdministration parameter in the Web config
file.

Hi
Thank you lotsaram and mattgoff for your reply.

@lotsaram
I've posted the result from the IBM reference material.but in fact it didn't appear like that.
As your solution to hide entire navigation pane, this is a good solution but I cannot disable entire navigation pane according to I have to open web report via application menu.

Does this issue has fixed in 9.5.1?

Hello,

I'm having the same problem in version 9.5.1 - not being able to hide the administration node although NavTreeDisplayAdministration="N" - has anyone come up with a workaround?

thanks in advance
