Creating Data Security Roles

Note: You must have the OLAP_XS_ADMIN privilege to manage data security roles in Analytic Workspace Manager.

You can create data security roles to manage a group of users to whom you want to assign the same data access permissions. You can then use the data security role when managing your data security policies, instead of defining the privileges of each individual user. Data security roles are like database roles except they only function within the context of OLAP data security.

To create a data security role:

1. In the navigation tree, right-click OLAP Data Security Roles and select Create Data Security Role from the menu.

   The Create Data Security Role dialog box appears.

2. On the General tab, type a descriptive name in the Data Security Role Name field.

3. Click Add Users or Roles.

   The Add Users or Roles dialog box is displayed.

4. Select the users and roles that you want to include in this role. Then click OK to close this dialog box.

   The selected users and roles are now listed in the table on the General tab.

5. Select the permissions you want to grant to each user or role.

6. Click OK to save the data security role.

   The new data security role appears in the navigation tree in the Data Security Roles folder.
