Disabling tenants

You can disable a tenant when you want to prevent the tenant users from accessing IBM® Cognos® BI and modifying the tenant content. This should typically be done before deploying a tenant and all of the tenant content.

About this task

As a best practice, you should disable the tenant before terminating its active user sessions.

Procedure

  1. In IBM Cognos Administration, click the Multitenancy tab.
  2. If you want to disable one tenant, from the tenant Actions drop-down menu, click Disable.

    You can enable the tenant later by clicking Enable.

  3. If you want to disable multiple tenants, select the tenant check boxes, and click the Disable icon Disable icon in the toolbar.

    You can enable the tenants later by selecting the Enable icon Enable icon.

Results
