Is this not still a capability that you can deny to everyone in the Cognos Administration > configuration > security? Would try it that way.

There is a capability for file upload as Reinhard already mentioned. Click Manage > Administration Console, then navigate to the security tab and click on Capabilities. In there you will see a capability called "Upload files" that allows you to control who has that privilege.

Alternatively, you can create your own custom welcome page: https://www.ibm.com/communities/analytics/cognos-analytics-blog/customizing-ibm-cognos-analytics-in-11-0-4/

I agree with Lynn
You can also do it without accessing the Administration Console.

Let's say for example I want to remove the option "Upload files" for all the users under "Consumers"
Then you can go to:

Manage > Accounts > [Namespace] > [Consumers] > Customization > Features > Home > Navigation Bar > New > (uncheck) Upload files
