Impersonating a tenant

System administrators can create content on behalf of a tenant by adopting a tenant ID.

About this task

As a system administrator, you might need to create content on behalf of a tenant. The entries that are created inherit the tenant ID of the impersonated tenant.

Procedure

  1. Ensure that you are logged off from IBM® Cognos® Connection.
  2. Click the Log on link in IBM Cognos Connection.
  3. In the Log on page, append the following parameters to the page URL:

    &CAMTenantID=impersonated_tenant_ID

    For example, type &CAMTenantID=tenant1

  4. Press Enter and continue the logon process.

Results

If you are a system administrator, the impersonated tenant ID is displayed with your name in the Cognos Connection header. Now, any content that you create will be assigned to the tenant that you are impersonating.
