Unless Anonymous access is allowed, when a Cognos 8 SDK application is connected to the Cognos 8 server the application has no implied rights or access permissions. The Cognos 8 SDK application needs to login just as a general user would login to the Cognos portal.
If anonymous access is allowed, the Cognos 8 SDK application will be granted the same rights and permissions as the Anonymous user from the Cognos namespace. If anonymous access is not allowed and a Cognos 8 SDK application does not login, an exception will occur when the SDK application tries to perform an action such as querying the content store or running a report.
All logons and logoffs are performed through the ContentManagerService using the logon() and logoff() methods. None of the other Cognos 8 services can perform a logon or logoff operation.
