Sample Data Grant

The following sample data grant shows a simple example of how you can create a data grant for your application.

1. Because the access restrictions will be set across only three dimensions, from the Overview for each dimension, set the Default Access for Entities, Scenarios, and Fiscal Calendar dimensions to None.

2. Set the Default Access for the remaining dimensions (Accounts, Years, Currencies, and Segments) to Read.

3. Set the access permissions for each user and dimension to Read, as follows:

Table 17-2 Sample Access Permissions

Dimension	Rodney P. Ray	Ocean E. OBrien
Entities	IDescendants (E01_101_300)	IDescendants (Total Entities)
Scenarios	Actual	Plan
Fiscal Calendar	IDescendants (Q1)	IDescendants (Fiscal Calendar)

4. Create one Data Grant for each dimension.

Because each user has differing member access permissions, each Data Grant will have two rows, one for each user, defining their member selection access in the dimension.
