I have saml token which contains user name and password.
I have to use this token to authunacate the ssas cube date base to open the report.
How implementing the Effective User Name authentication for ssas.
i would like to pose a question, when a user do a login in SSRS server,is it possible to pass the username to SSAS tabular, to implement security? I've tested using USERNAME() creating a role that relates USERNAME() with a dim user username, but now i need to implement it with the username used in SSRS server.

I need to limit the sessions to access to SSAS cube to one per user. For example, if a customer uses Excel to check a cube, two or more users cannot use the same session or account.
View 2 Replies View RelatedRunning PivotTable reports in Excel 2007 which are linked to a SSAS Server 2008 R2 may consume high amount of memory and cause high CPU utilization.
Detail:users may set 7 or more dimensions in row section of a Pivottable report. Some of those dimensions were containing more than 10000 members.
When refreshing such a report, Analysis Services is consuming more than 16 GB of memory, cpu utilization often goes up to 80%.
To run this report it takes arround 10 minutes. During this time other users may be unable to run reports on the server.Is there a way to control expensive MDX queries caused by some users to ensure Service availability?
I am trying to implement data masking based on user login and not sure why this is not working. I have the dimensions DimBrand, DimProduct and DimUser. I should mask the BrandCode with 'XXXX' nothing but in the report all the BrandCode should appear but few of the code will be masked if the user is not belongs to that group. I have a fact table FactProduct in this. In the cube I created all these 3 dimensions and the fact table. I created a new dimension DimBrandMask and I separated the code over there with a relationship with the actual DimBrand dimension. In the cube a reference relationship is set up with the measure group. Created a role with read access.
In the dimension data tab of role I put the below MDX to allowed set.
NonEmpty([DimBrandMask].[Brand Code].Members, (StrToMember("[DimUser].[Login Name].[Login Name].[" + UserName() + "]") ,[Measures].[Dim User Count]))
And in Denied Member set i put the below MDX
IIF( (StrToMember("[DimUser].[Login Name].[Login Name].[" + UserName() + "]"), [DimUser].[Access Right].&[False]), NONEMPTY( [DimBrandMask].[Brand Code].Members,(StrToMember("[DimUser].[Login Name].[Login Name].["
+ UserName() + "]"), [DimUser].[Access Right].&[False], [Measures].[Dim User Count])),{})
Note I created one measure group from the DimUser table and the measure [Dim User Count] is used in the above query.
I am expecting some result like below
Brand BrandCode Count
Brand1 b1 6
Brand2 XXXXX 5
Brand3 XXXXX 10
Hello All,
I'm hoping someone can help me with this puzzle.
Most logins I've created have been SQL Server authenticated. I assign the login newEmployee to a role existingRole, and ensure the role has the required permissions. This didn't seem to be rocket science....
My company has been provided with an application with a SQL Server back-end. My instructions were to create a Windows authenticated login and give it full access to the database. I followed the above principles, but running the application, the user got the error -
SELECT permission denied on object 'sysobjects', database 'databasename', owner 'dbo'.
So I decided to try the simplest possible scenario to make it work:
I've created a login DOMAINewEmployee with Windows authentication.
DOMAINewEmployee has been granted access to databasename.
By default, DOMAINewEmployee is a member of Public.
Public has been granted all available permissions on all objects.
ie... grant all on userTables to public
........grant all on sysobjects to public
........grant all on otherSystemTables to public
etc.
Running the application, the user still gets the above error. I'd send the problem back to the vendor, except if I've logged onto the PC as DOMAINewEmployee, querying -
select * from dbo.sysobjects
via Query Analyser produces the same error message. (An equivalent error message is produced when querying a user-created table).
To compare, I then created a login newEmployee2 with SQL Server authentication.
newEmployee2 has been granted access to databasename.
select * from dbo.sysobjects
runs successfully from Query Analyser (as to any queries on user-created tables).
What else is required to grant access to tables from a Windows authenticated login?
( What really scares me, is that the application will run if I make the Windows authenticated login a member of server roles System Administrator and Database Creators, then the application will run - but I don't want this to be the permanent solution. Even after doing this, the above query still fails in Query Analyser for that login, suggesting that there is something wrong with how I configured the permissions. )
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
Kim.
Microsoft recommends using Windows authentication instead of SQL Server authentication in SQL Server 2005 for improved security. What are the Microsoft best practices for implementing this? Will be helpful if someone also provides some links that talks about this....

Is it possible to have more than one cube under one SSAS database? For example I have a database "Test" and in this the cube exist is "TestCube", is iit possible to deploy another cube "TestCube2" under the Test databse?
If yes then what is the process to do that, the reason I am asing is there are some common dimensions used n both the cubes and I am not sure what is the best way so that I can use the shared dimension?
I've been working with SSAS for a good few years now but I keep bumping into this problem - my users are trying to build a measure that is based on a calculated attribute and finding it difficult to work out how to write the MDX to do so. Intuitively, they thought a Calculated Member would work, but I don't think a Calculated Member is quite the same thing from my understanding.
So, here's the scenario.
We have a Product Dimension. We have a Measure that is the Number of days the Product took to make, e.g. 5 days. We also have a Product Count measure that counts the number of Products.
The user would like to write a calculated measure that works out the number of products that took <5 days, 5-10 days, 10-15 days etc.It would be easy to write a set of calculated measures for each of these bandings, but the user wants effectively a single dynamic attribute to use in the calculation in order to automatically distribute these values across the columns in their pivot table.
Is this even possible? I was thinking I could build an attribute on the Product Dimension in the ETL to do this quite easily, but the user wants to be able to change the bandings on the fly by changing the MDX for the attribute, rather than go back to the developer every time.
how to achieve the below mentioned in SSAS: P
1 - Set Default values 20 and 80
2 -Set Default value <> 90 or except 90.

n= count of number of array records
p= percentile
I am using below MDX query:
WITH MEMBER [Measures].[PV] AS 25
Member [Measures].[CntCT] as Count(NonEmpty([Tb City].[City Name].&[DC], [Measures].[CPT1]))
Member [Measures].[PVInt25] as Int(((([Measures].[CntCT] - 1)* [Measures].[PV])/100) - 1)

Select [Measures].[PVC] on columns, {[Tb City].[City Name]} on rows from test;
The line 2:
Member [Measures].[CntCT]
In that i need to find the n count of rows where city is DC (City is my Dimension) in Measures CPT1
But currently it is giving the result 1 instead in actual in my test cube there is the city DC exists with 23 CPT1 rows count.
I tried the below query:
SELECT NON EMPTY {[Tb City 1].[City Name].[City Name].&[DC] }
ON COLUMNS, NON EMPTY { ( [Measures].[Tb Main Count] ) }
ON ROWS FROM [test]
Above query gives me the correct count i.e. 23 but i need to get the result of above query in line 2 of MDX query:
Member [Measures].[CntCT]
I have a requirement where I need to show the maximum value in grand totals but for the dimension members the same measure has to sum.
For ex: lets say I have a measure called Test and this is a base measure. The aggregation type set to this is SUM.
For this same measure the grand totals should not show the sum instead it should show the maximum value of the dimension members which is being analyzed across.
