Set Up Presentation Object Permissions

Add application roles and permissions to secure a presentation object.

The permissions that you set for an object are inherited by its child objects. You can change the child object's permissions to override its parent object's permissions. For example, if you set permissions on a subject area, then you can set permissions on a table or column to override the corresponding subject area's permissions.

Note:

You can use bulk update to set the permissions for multiple presentation objects at the same time. See Set Semantic Model Object Permissions in Bulk.

These are the role permissions that you can set for a presentation object:

• Read-Write - Provides both read and write access to the object.
• Read Only - Allows only read access to the object.
• No Access - Denies all access to the object.
