Usage Note 33736: ReadMetadata and WriteMetadata permissions required for all SAS® OLAP cube objects in order to edit or update a cube
In SAS® 9.2, in order to update a SAS OLAP cube, users must have ReadMetadata and WriteMetadata permissions granted for all metadata objects that are associated with a cube, including dimensions, levels, hierarchies, and measures. For example, users who are denied WriteMetadata permission to a measure on a cube will not be able to delete that cube. In addition, in SAS® OLAP Cube Studio, the Edit Cube Structure and Build Physical Cube menu options will not be available to users who do not have full access to all of a cube's metadata objects.
If a user is not able to rebuild an OLAP cube in SAS 9.2, then review the metadata permissions that are defined for the cube in order to verify that the user has been granted ReadMetadata and WriteMetadata permissions for all of the cube's objects.
