When creating and editing
SAS OLAP cubes, you must establish and apply security permissions
to ensure the correct access to cube data among the different users
on a system. SAS authorization permissions can be set at general
levels or fine-grain levels and are conveyed across user identities
(user, group) and objects (folder, table, library). Authorization
permission settings are then inherited from parent identities or objects.
SAS OLAP cubes and the
different components of a cube (dimensions, hierarchies, levels, measures,
calculated measures, and cube jobs) can have authorization permissions
set using the authorization functions that are available in SAS OLAP
Cube Studio and in the Authorization Manager plug-in in SAS Management
Console. For further information about establishing security and authorization
permissions for your SAS OLAP environment, see
Securing Cubes. In addition, see the
SAS Intelligence Platform:
Security Administration Guide for detailed information
about security administration for your SAS environment.
