Security Dilemma Example
Two Dimensions: Site and Department
Site Members Department Members
Site A Dept 1
Site B Dept 2
Site C Dept 3
Question: Is it possible in BPC version 4.2 SP4 to set up the following access for an user?
User A needs access to Site A and all departs only for Site A
User A needs access to Site B and only Dept 2 for Site B
User A needs access to Site C and only Dept 1 and 3 for Site C
My understanding is that if a user is given access to all departments, then he would be able to pull those depts for ALL sites he has access to. How can I assign access for combinations of members from different dimensions?
Hi,
Just to understand what you specified,
Site Members Department Members
Site A Dept 1
Site B Dept 2
Site C Dept 3
These 3 Dept's are there in all the 3 Sites. Is my understanding correct?
If that is the case, better would be to maintain 9 IDs for Dept dimension
Dept1_SiteA, Dept2_SiteA, Dept3_SiteA,
Dept1_SiteB............................................
...........................................Dept3_SiteC
That means you have 9 Dept members. Now it becomes very simple to assign access.
I dont think there is any way to assign security to combination of dimensions.
Hope this helps.

Yes, your understanding is correct. However we have several hundred members in Site dimension and a hundred in Department. Creating a site_dept combination would result in more than 50,000 new dept members. Is BPC 4.2SP4 not capable of handling such security requirements? Does BPC 7's security model address this?
Thanks for your quick reply!
