7.5 Secured padding members
Secured padding members ensure that the hierarchies remain balanced. Balanced,
non-ragged hierarchies have better performance in the studios. Secured padding members
are inserted into a secured hierarchy member tree when a granted member has all its
children restricted. This way is most common with grant members when granting only
members and not including descendants in the scope. However, it can also occur with deny
filters or with a combination of grant and deny filters.
Consider the following points:
? If a non-leaf member has all its descendants restricted, then secured padding members
will be inserted into all the levels below the non-leaf member.
? If all leaf members are restricted, padding members will be inserted; the leaf level will not
be removed.
? The caption of Secured Padding members is either empty or blank or has the name of the
parent. This is the same configuration setting for caption of padding member in ragged
and unbalanced hierarchies.
? Secured padding members are secured similar to visible ancestors.
? Intrinsic properties of secured padding members should be accurate, however member
properties will be null
? There is at most one secured padding member for each level under a parent member.
7.5.1 Example: Secured padding member unnecessary
This example describes securing a member and its descendants where a secured padding
member would not be needed.
