Example 5—Using the Exists Function to Specify an Allowed Set

In this example, a database role has the dimension security settings that are shown in the following table.

Attribute	IsAllowed	AllowedSet	DeniedSet	ApplyDenied	VisualTotals
State	True			True	True
City	True	{San Jose, San Francisco}		True	True
Gender	False			True	False

The results of these dimension security settings are the following:

• The allowed set that is specified for the City attribute limits the visibility of newly added members of the City attribute.

• Only the California member of the State attribute will be visible. (The allowed set for the City attribute only includes San Jose and San Francisco—both cities in California. This means that the allowed set not only limits the City attribute, but also limits the visibility of the State attribute to only California.)

• The Gender attribute is not visible because the IsAllowed property for this attribute is set to False.

• The aggregated totals for the State and All Level attributes include only those attribute members that are viewable by the database role (in this case, the totals for San Jose and San Francisco) because the VisualTotals property for both the City and State attributes are set to True.

Reviewing the Result Set

Based on these dimension security settings for the role (and based on cube access to all cells), the following result set is returned from the cube when all members are queried.

All Level	State	City	Gender	Sales Amount
All Offices				8600
	California			8600
		San Jose		4200
		San Francisco		4400
