| Defining the SAS OLAP Environment |
When creating and editing SAS OLAP cubes, you must establish and apply
security permissions to ensure the correct access to cube data among the
different users on a system. SAS authorization permissions can be set at
general levels or fine-grain levels and are conveyed across user identities
(user, group) and objects (folder, table, library). Authorization permission
settings are then inherited from parent identities or objects.
SAS OLAP cubes and the different components of a cube (dimensions,
hierarchies, levels, measures, calculated measures, and cube jobs) can have
authorization permissions set using the authorization functions that are available
in SAS OLAP Cube Studio and in the Authorization Manager plug-in in SAS Management
Console. For further information on establishing security and authorization
permissions for your SAS OLAP environment, see Cube Security. In addition, see the
SAS Intelligence Platform: Security Administration Guide
for detailed information on security administration for your SAS environment.
