Full interactivity mode for reports based on UDS

A defect on UDS security management has been identified and confirm as so by the lab.
Result is that the only way in CA 11.0.4 to secure UDS usage so a user can be:
- granted to author new report using report studio but denied to use UDS
- granted to run an existing report based on UDS developed by a report admin
- denied to edit an existing report based on UDS developed by a report admin
is to switch off the full interactivity mode for reports based on UDS.

Providing same result as in Cognos BI 10.2.1 with the possibility to use full interactivity mode should be added in future releases of CA11.

The full interactivity mode is a great new functionality but a lot of reports often require to be based on UDS and therefore it is a shame to not enjoy it in such case.
