Permissions

On the Permissions tab in the option section of the dimensions you administer the rights of roles for the selected dimension element. The Role table shows an overview of the mappings of rights and roles in the columns Role, Description and Permission.

To assign permissions, select the role in the Role table and click one of the buttons for the permissions: Default, Administer, Write, Read, or None. For each element only one permission can be assigned to a role. The rights are those used in OLAP.

Click Pass to descendants if the permissions of a role should be passed to the descendants of a parent. A selected check box in the Pass to descendants column shows that this function is activated. This option allows to define permissions on aggregated elements that will be inherited by all descendants. The permissions of the dependent elements can be applied automatically by OLAP through the usage of stored permissions on elements in DAC cubes (Dimension Access Control cube).
