Enabling or Disabling Security for Dimensions

You can enable security for dimensions, including user-defined Custom dimensions. Applying security enables the access granted by the predefined roles to apply to a dimension. If you do not set security on a dimension, all users can access the dimension members.

By default, the Scenario and Version dimensions are enabled for access permissions. Optionally, you can assign access to Account, Entity, PCM_Balance, PCM_Rule, Period, and Years.

You can assign security to dimension members for user and groups. You can assign security at a member level or parent level. See Assigning Security to Dimension Members.

To enable or disable security for a dimension:

  1. Click the Navigator Navigator icon.
  2. Under Create and Manage, click Dimensions.
  3. From the Dimension drop down menu, select a dimension, and then click Edit edit.
  4. From the Edit Dimension Properties page, select an option:
    • To enable security, click Apply Security.

      Note:

      If you do not select this option, there is no security on the dimension, and users can access its members without restriction.
    • To disable security clear Apply Security.
  5. Click Save.
