Problem Note 13557: MDX restriction of default member may cause error when viewing cube

DetailsHotfixAboutRate It
To apply security to a hierarchy that is not the default, you must
specify, at a minimum, two sets. The first contains the default member
of the hierarchy. The second contains the members that should be made
available to the users. You must separate these two sets with the
CONDITION operator as follows:


{[TIME].defaultMember}<!--CONDITION-->{[Time].[YQM].[quarter].members}

Possible errors from specifying an invalid expression are:

   1. Formula Error: Access to member is not allowed in the
      "DEFAULTMEMBER" function.

   2. The OLAP Provider returned an unexpected number of dimensions.

However, there is currently a software defect that prevents the default
member of a non-default hierarchy from being returned correctly.

Additionally, Microsoft Excel will always attempt to surface the All
member of a hierarchy. If this member is restricted, an error may be
returned.

A fix for SAS 9.1.3 (9.1 TS1M3) for this issue is available at:
