Ability to audit all customizations made for Cognos Analytics roles

We have taken advantage of the customization options provided in Cognos Analytics 11.0.7, but we are finding it is difficult to see what customizations are applied in our environment at a high level. We are keeping a spreadsheet of the customizations we have set for each role, but it is difficult to tell if what we think we have applied is actually in place without searching them out individually.

We also followed the instructions on this blog post (https://www.ibm.com/communities/analytics/cognos-analytics-blog/administration-changing-
the-behaviour-of-object-copying-in-cognos-analytics-11-0-7-release-7/) to retain the target object ID when copying objects, but there is no way to know what it is set to. After entering in the parameter it seems to work, but we have no other way to verify other than testing to see if it works. There's no confirmation anywhere that we can find.

It would be nice to have the ability to see these customizations made at a high level.
