 Hello,

It seems I've locked myself out of Cognos admin roles as I can't see the Launch -> "IBM Cognos Administration" menu entry. How can one revert to Cognos authentication (websphere application server), please?

Kind regards,
Raf

Hello Rafael,

you can use the AddSysAdminMember.sqlscript (found in the folder cognos/configuration/schemas/content/[your DBMS] ) to add the Everyone group System Administrators.
This give every user system administrator rights, so it's important that you add yourself back to the System Administrators group and then remove Everyone.

See for reference:

Administrator user(s) are unable to see Administration options in Cognos Reportnet.
