Allow regular users to view account and company hierarchies

Some of our users in central group accounting want to have the possibility to view the hierarchies in Cognos Controller (Account and Company)

Preferably by being able to view it in the menus  "Maintain - Account Structure - Define" and "Maintain - Company Structure - Define".

But having access to "Define" automatically trigger an Administration role, even if its only view access.

My question is simply, is it possible to change the definition of regular user, so that a regular user can VIEW the hierarchies and not be defined as an Administrator?

I have also seen the Q&A about the matter:

Controller licensing - what is the difference between an Administrator and non-administrator user?

As this will not require any reprogramming, I hope this can be assessed relatively quickly. :) Thanks in advance.
