Granting Access to Cognos Analytics Report Authoring

Each District Administrator is responsible for granting user access to Cognos Analytics Report Authoring. There will be limited support for Report Authors, so careful consideration should be given in determining which users are allowed this access. It is suggested that access be given only to those users that have an aptitude for computer programming and an interest in writing reports.
