Chapter 7. Dimensional security 151
Security view 1: Grant United States ascendants and descendants
Figure 7-1 shows granted United States ascendants and descendants.
Figure 7-1 Granted United States ascendants and descendants (1)
Figure 7-2 shows the result.
Figure 7-2 Granted United States ascendants and descendants (2)
Because Dynamic Cubes does not support visual totals, in this example the values for All and
Americas, while unsecured, will not represent the roll up of their visible children, as seen in
Figure 7-3.
Figure 7-3 Values for all and Americas
Notice the values for All and Americas do not correspond to the value in the only visible
descendant, United States.
7.4.2 Example: Basic visible ancestor
In this example, security view 2 grants access to United States and its descendants. The All
member and Americas are not explicitly granted, but they are treated as visible ancestors.
