Measure Security

Admins can enable or disable access to specific measures for given roles. This enables you to regulate which user roles will have VISIBILITY to which measures in the data model.

By default, all roles assigned to the data model can see all measures in the data model.

• Enable: Once a role is enabled for a specified measure, it is also disabled for all other measures; the role will only have access whichever measures have been manually enabled.
• Disable: However, when a role is disabled for a selected measure, the role remains enabled for all other measures; the role will have access to all measures in the data model, except those that for which it has been manually disabled.

Note: Measure security can work on any supported model in the system including MS OLAP, Tabular, SAP BW and SAP Hana models and cubes.

1. Select enable (to enable the given measures and disable the unselected measures) or disable (to disable the selected measures and leave the rest enabled) from the drop down.
2. Select the measures to be enabled or disabled for the given role.
