Cognos Analytics Folder and Report Permissions interface is difficult to use

Cognos 11 Folder/Report permissions interface is very hard to use. Cognos 10.2.2 Folder/Report permissions interface is much better than Cognos 11. We can see all the user groups at one time when viewing permissions tab. It's also very easy and ef...
