Example 1—Permitting Access to All Members

In this example, a database role has read permission to all cells in a cube.

Reviewing the Result Set

Based on these cell data permissions for this database role, a query on all cells returns the result set shown in the following table.

Continent	Region	Cost	Cost	Revenue	Revenue	Tax	Tax
		1997	1998	1997	1998	1997	1998
Asia	.	1453	2507	1892	2918	182	266
.	Japan	1111	2009	1349	2306	133	210
.	Korea	342	498	543	612	49	56
Europe	.	1309	1514	1675	1835	304	348
.	France	864	931	1002	1122	205	228
.	Germany	445	583	673	713	99	120
N. America	.	2745	2544	3351	3201	456	432
.	Canada	622	511	740	691	59	58
.	USA	2123	2033	2611	2510	397	374

Important

If a Microsoft Windows user or group belongs to multiple database roles, a query on all cells would first result in a dataset being generated based on each database role to which the user or group belongs. Then, Microsoft SQL Server Analysis Services would combine of all these datasets into one dataset, and return that combined dataset to the user or group.
