If a SSAS database has multiple cubes, access is given on a cube by cube basis and is broken into the following three categories as described below and illustrated subsequently: Remember, if access is not specifically granted to the cube, end users will not even see the cube from their client applications.

Once any of these options are enabled by selecting the appropriate check box, the administrator must enter a MDX expression which defines the cells which are available or restricted for the role members. Although, Cell Data permission restrict access to certain cells or cell ranges, these restrictions work hand and hand with the dimension permissions which will be subsequently discussed. Additionally, if certain cells are restricted, but other non-restricted calculated cells are derived from that restricted values, users may be able to make a determination of a particular value.

To see additional details about this complex area of security see http: Roles whose access is set to none will not even see the dimension marked as such. Similar to the Cubes Access Rights, granting Process rights to a role, allows the members to process that particular dimension. For example, if a sales group only should have access to sales data in their state geographic territory, then a role could be designed to only allow access the sales person's assigned states.

As seen in the next illustration, two options for entering the dimension restrictions: The advanced option relies on the entry of MDX queries for generating the list of available or restrict access points.

One caveat in the use of Dimension Data security; total rows will display the total for all values in the dimension even those that restricted which in turn could allow end users to determine the value of the restricted attributes. To have the end client reporting tools only rollup the unrestricted values, check the enable Visual Totals check box, displayed at the bottom of the following illustration, which will then only rollup the unrestricted values. Please note, this feature can cause slower performance. Implementing SSAS Security is as important as every other methods of restricting organizational data.

Therefore, SSAS allows us to setup the following security points:. All comments are reviewed, so stay on subject or we may delete your comment.

I set my role by you, but I have this problem - when I use Cube Browser with created role, I get only data that this role should see. But when I click Analyze in Excel, or connect via analysis connection and the specified user , I can see all data. I would first try to use the Test Cube Security option in bids and the change user options to the domain user account That way you can test the options which were selected.

Are you logged in still as the admin when you run these tests? I have created role and which has Read Definition permissions on the database and my domain account is added to be member of that role. I have read access to data sources and Cube. But when I query measure values using MDX queries, null values are retuned even though underlying tables have data and cube was processed.

Can you tell me what could be the issue here?. I could not find single article where the following described: View all my tips. Post a comment or let the author know this tip helped.
