Hi there,

Has anybody been successful implementing security on the cube?
Example:

Your AS has 3 cubes:

Sales
Purchase
Inventory

I only want user in the Sales group (Active Directory) to see Sales cube,
Purchase group to see Purchase cube and Inventory group to see the
Inventory
cube. So far, I could never restrict the cube views so when Sales person
log
in .. he still manages to see all three cubes there.

Please help... thank you.

Hi there,

I know that you can make use of the roles .. however ... like I mentioned
before when I have setup the roles and set the users from active directory,
they users can still see the full set of cubes.

Please check the following:

1. Membership of the OLAP Administrators NT Group
2. Membership of the Administrators NT Group
3. Permissions on the HKLM\Software\Microsoft\OLAP Server\SECURITY key (or
simply upgrade to SP3)

Hi there,


Analysis Server has a database known as TTPC
TTPC
- Cubes
+ Transactions GET
+ Transactions TTPC

GET and TTPC are two seperate departments in the company who wishes to
view their analysis cube. However, the restriction is TTPC can view both
TTPC and GET cube. However, GET is only allowed to view GET cube.

Here's what I did:

1. Create all users in the Active Directory. (All users are not OLAP
Administrator group)

2. Go to the TTPC Database Roles. Added two lines ... one for GET and
the other TTPC. Set the GET to view only Transactions GET cube. Added
SOOKK username to the Membership at the Database Roles. Enforce on
CLIENT.

3. Using a CLIENT machine on Windows XP Professional logging in as
SOOKK. I open the Analysis Manager and yet I still can view both TTPC
and GET cubes.

That's the situation.

OK, can you answer all 3 of my previous questions in this context:

1. Is user SOOKK member of OLAP Administrators group ?
2. Is user SOOKK member of Administrators group ?
3. What are permissions on the HKLM\Software\Microsoft\OLAP Server\SECURITY
registry key ?

Good day,

To answer your questions:

1. Is user SOOKK member of OLAP Administrators group ?

Nope

2. Is user SOOKK member of Administrators group ?

Nope

3. What are permissions on the HKLM\Software\Microsoft\OLAP
Server\SECURITY
registry key ?

I can't find the SECURITY in the registry ... unless you're refering to
the one in CURRENTVERSION .... if that's the one .. then there is
nothing set under SECURITY .. just the (Default) REG_SZ (value not set)



Thank you.

Yes, sorry, I meant the one under CurrentVersion. You need to open it with
regedt32.exe on W2K or with regedit.exe on WinXP, and then look at the
_permissions_ on that key, not at the content. Only OLAP Administrators &
Administrators should be there. Pay special attention to "Inherit from
parent" checkbox. It _has_ to be unchecked. If it is checked - uncheck
yourself, restart everything ans retry.
