Title: Permissions Tab under Set Properties of Query Studio Capability
Post by: gatorfe on 13 Jul 2016 09:57:24 AM
Hello, we have a 10.2.1 single server prod environment using AD for security.  When we go to Cognos Administration-->Security-->Capabilities-->Query Studio-->Set Properties-->Permissions tab we only see the names of the groups cognos comes with(authors, everyone, etc) but the AD groups that we setup show as Unavailable.  Pic attached.  They showed the name before because that is how we added them and gave them certain permissions.  Any ideas on how to make the name show again?  Thank you in advance for your feedback!

Maybe I am just missing something, but... how did you get them in there in the first place? What has changed in your environment?

I think Cognos stores AD references by the AD GUID, not names, so if for example you are pointing to a different Active Directory it could explain the problem.
