How to Assign an OLAP Permission Condition

To assign an OLAP permission condition, complete these steps:

1. In SAS Management Console, navigate to

   Environment Management

   Authorization Manager

   Resource Management

   By Location

   <your application server>

   <your OLAP schema>

   <your cube>

   Dimensions

   and double-click the dimension for which you are defining a permission condition.

2. In the dimension's Properties dialog box, select the Authorization tab.

3. On the Authorization tab, select (or add) the user or group whose read access you want to limit with a permission condition.

4. In the permissions list, add a direct grant of the Read permission for the identity that you selected. The Add Condition button is now enabled.

   

   Notice that the check box for the Read permission has no added background color; this indicates that the permission is directly granted.

5. Click Add Condition to open the Permission Condition dialog box.

6. In the Permission Condition dialog box, enter an MDX expression that filters the current dimension as appropriate for the identity that you selected in step 3.

7. Click OK to save the permission condition.
