Access

Q: How do I request access to Cognos?

A: It depends, are you a consumer (want to run an existing report) or a developer (want to build a report). Either way you need to be a member of specific Active Directory (AD) groups for access to specific folders.

Consumers need to request access to reports seen on bah.ucsd.edu via the ‘request access’ link found on the same page. If the report is not on bah.ucsd.edu then the consumer will need to request access from the report developer.

Developers automatically have access to Cognos DEV and can upload their own data via Excel. Developers who want to use UCSD data can request access to existing data sources (https://blink.ucsd.edu/technology/bi/sources/index.html) or request to have their data added to Cognos ( Interim Solution - Adding Data to Cognos or Tableau )
