Filtering Role-Based Cubes in IT Analytics Data Loss Prevention Content Pack

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.

For example, you can restrict access for the IT Analytics Users role to return the cube data only for entries within the DLP Policy Group for Data at Rest. Here we will assume you at least have granted 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 DLP Policy Group dimension and select OK.
