SQL Server Analysis Services has a wide range of advanced security opportunities.
You can explore these opportunities through the SQL Server Management Studio.
One such feature is the ability to filter the data that a role has access to by
restricting access to specific members of a dimension.
You can restrict access for the IT Analytics Users role to return the cube data only
for computers with a Win32 system type. For this example, you must grant access
to the Computer cube for the IT Analytics Users role.
To filter a role-based cube
1 In SQL Server Management Studio, in the IT Analytics analysis services
database, navigate to the properties for the IT Analytics Users role.
2
In the Edit Role dialog box, navigate to the Dimension Data page.
3 In the Dimension drop-down list, click the Computer dimension.
4 Select the Deselect all members radio symbol.
5 In the Attribute Hierarchy drop-down list, click Computer - System Type.
6 Select the dimension members that you want the role to have access to.
In our example, there is an Win32 member. Actual names are specific to each
instance of Notification Server.
7 Navigate to the Advanced tab of the Dimension Data page.
