Enabling and Disabling of Cobra Menu Items
There are two types of security applied when enabling and disabling the Cobra menu items.
These are:
Cobra processes that require a Cobra file (for example, Schedule Integration) will still check for the user’s access rights to the file before they can be run, even if the menu item is enabled. For example, you can launch the Integration Wizard because you have access to Integration in EPM Security Administrator or PPM Administrator, but you will not be able to select or run it on a project to which you do not have write access.

Application-level security pertains to menu items that are secured based solely on the user’s Primary Role in EPM Security Administrator or PPM Administrator. If a Primary Role is not defined for a user, Cobra uses the access rights defined for the DEFAULT role in EPM Security Administrator or PPM Administrator to secure a menu item.
File-based security pertains to menu items that are secured based on the access control records defined on a Cobra file (for example, project).
This topic illustrates how Cobra’s application-level and file-based security settings affect menu item accessibility for different user roles and groups.
