Data roles and permissions

Objects include, for example, dimensions and rules. Permissions include the ability to edit rules and dimensions and to write values to the cubes.

If an application contains an OLAP database then the OLAP permissions are also available as application permissions.

There are inbuilt data roles and you can add others.

The OLAP Data Roles widget of the Data Roles dashboard lists all OLAP data roles.
