Security filters control access to data values or cells in the Essbase database. Filters are the most granular form of Essbase security access. While creating a filter, you designate restrictions on a database cell. Filter information is stored in essbase.sec on the Essbase server.
Filters can be assigned to Essbase users and groups.
To create a filter:
Log in to Administration Services Console as admin or as a user provisioned with the Essbase Administrator role. See Accessing Administration Services Console.
Expand the node representing the Essbase application for which you want to define security filters.
Right-click the database for which you want to define security filters, select Create, and then Filters.
