Role Interface
[!附註]
下一版的 Microsoft SQL Server 將不再提供此功能。請勿在新的開發工作中使用此功能，並且儘速修改使用此功能的應用程式。
The Role interface supports the maintenance of user groups and security parameters. Users can be grouped according to common access permissions by using the Role interface.
Using Decision Support Objects (DSO), you can use role objects to set permissions on the following areas in Analysis Services:
Server
Database
Cube
Dimensions and members
Individual cube cells
Each role object also contains a collection for Command objects. The ability to create role-based commands is important for security reasons, and can also increase cube flexibility. You can customize the content of a cube to match the needs of individual users or entire groups.
In DSO, the objects that implement the Role interface have a ClassType property value of clsCubeRole, clsMiningModelRole, or clsDatabaseRole. The Role interface provides properties and methods to manipulate these objects.
Updating Security Information on the Analysis Server
Any changes you make to role objects are saved when any of the events listed in the following table occur.
Event |
Description |
|---|---|
Saving a cube or mining model |
Using the Update method of a cube or mining model object sends the updated security information to the Analysis server (assuming the cube or mining model has been processed at least once). |
Processing a cube or mining model |
Processing a cube or mining model updates the security information on the server. All role configuration data is saved, regardless of the processing option specified with the Process method. |
Saving a database role |
Using the Update method of an object of ClassType clsDatabaseRole sets the default values for the affiliated cube role objects in the database. Any changes you make to this default role are not applied to the affiliated cube role or mining model role objects that have values overriding the default. |
When you make a change to default permission settings on a database role and invoke the Update method on the role, DSO finds all cubes that still use the default permission settings and sends the new security permissions for these cubes to the server.
