Title: Setting Object Security on hierarchy levels in FM DMR 8.4
Post by: Warborn on 03 Dec 2009 01:13:15 PM
Is there a way to set Object Security on hierarchy levels in FM DMR 8.4 ?

The goal is to disable some user groups from seeing lower levels on a multi-level hierarchy.

This can be easily done in Transformer 8.4 but in FWM - when you highlight a level in hierarchy, the Actions > Specify Object Security... option is greyed out.

Thank you

Hi,

I'm just working on a project that has masses of data level security and presents the user with both standard flat reporting and DMR functionality that they can use within Analysis Studio.

The key is to set your data level security up against the underlying query subject that your hierarchy is modelled against.
