Specifying of access permissions attributes enables the user, on the dictionary use in cubes, to further limit particular user to access particular element data.

NOTE. Setting up access permission attributes by elements is available only in the desktop application.

To specify attributes execute the following operations:

1. Create two integer attributes.

2. Click the Access Permissions button, and the dialog box opens:

3. Select created attributes in the drop-down dialog box lists and click the OK button.

Decimal values corresponding to the bit security mask should be passed as values by the selected attributes. According to this mask, specific actions with the dictionary elements (reading or writing) is allowed or prohibited. Each bit of the mask corresponds to the security subject added on the Security Labels tab. The bit number corresponds to the subject number in the list. The bit value determines permission or prohibition for the object to execute actions.

Mask bit value:

• 0. Action is prohibited.

• 1. Action is allowed.

Example of creating a mask:

Mask value	... 1 1 1 0 1 1 0
The order of subjects in the list on the Security Labels tab	... 6 5 4 3 2 1 0
Access attribute value	118

So, to the subject that is first in the list (0), the action is prohibited; to the subject that is second in the list (1), the action is allowed, and so on.

If access permission attribute were determined for a dictionary, select the Hide Unavailable Dictionary Elements checkbox to hide dictionary elements from the users who do not have read permissions.

NOTE. Hiding unavailable dictionary elements is available only in the desktop application.
