IBM Cognos Analytics Developer V11 — Question 17

An administrator is implementing security by managing and working with the Cognos namespace.
Which statement is true?

Answer options

• A. To gain access to IBM Cognos Analytics, users can log on to the Cognos namespace.
• B. Create domain users in the Cognos namespace to avoid cluttering the existing authentication provider.
• C. User-defined groups and roles must be created in a 3rd-party authentication provider and cannot be created in the Cognos namespace.
• D. Although the use of the predefined and built-in groups and roles within the Cognos namespace is optional, the Cognos namespace cannot be deleted.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, as the Cognos namespace is a core component that cannot be deleted, even though using its predefined groups and roles is optional. Option A is incorrect because it does not address the specifics of the Cognos namespace management. Option B is misleading, as domain users can be created without cluttering the authentication provider. Option C is false because user-defined groups and roles can be created in the Cognos namespace.
