Not sure if it was deleted or just didn't migrate properly when we changed
servers but the OLAP Administrators group is missing from the Windows Groups.
Any ideas how can I recreate the group? Thanks!

did you try :
Control Panel, Administrative tools, Computer Management, Right-click on
groups, select New Gropup, and add a group called OLAP Administrators - then
add your users

What are the permissions that the group should have? Is it enough that the
new group is called "OLAP Administrators" or does it needs to have
permissions granted to it? Thanks

As well as Jasper's point, my group has rights to the
following folders:
D:\Analysis Services\data
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Analysis Services\Bin
As far as I recall, OLAP administrative privileges are
nothing more than these rights.

OLAP Administrators group should also have access to repository - depends
whether it is in msmdrep.mdb on the MsOLAPRepository$ share - both needs to
have access, or migrated to SQL Server.
I recommend reinstalling AS and restoring your database to make sure you
stay on the supported path though.
