Set up access permissions attributes by elements. Specifying of access permissions attributes enables the user, on the dictionary use in cubes, to further limit particular user to access particular element data.
To specify attributes, execute the following:
Create or select two integer attributes.
Click the Access Permissions button. The dialog box opens:
Use all the drop-down lists to select the attributes, for which read and writes access must be set.
Click the OK button.
The fields, to which the specified attributes are bound, must contain decimal values corresponding to security mask. 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.
Hide unavailable dictionary elements. If access permissions attributes are determined for the dictionary, selecting the Hide Inaccessible Dictionary Elements checkbox enables the user to hide dictionary elements for the users who do not have read access.
