Controlling access to display attributes that are also characteristics

In earlier versions of BI an authorization relevant characteristic (such as profit center) could be secured in navigation but could be made visible universally by creating a second authorization object for the characteristic and granting * access for the second object and restricted access for the first. As long as one authorization object for the characteristic had * access the display attribute was visible but one could still control navigation and selection. Now that authorization objects are no longer created what mechanism would be used to allow restrictions on navigation while keeping access open for a display attribute?
For those that are having trouble seeing where this might be relevant: consider a cube that has both  consolidation unit and a profit center characteristics that are both authorization relevant. They are not exactly orthogonal for business reasons (especially at the node level) but someone who is reporting on the profit center characteristic may want to see what consolidation unit that the profit center belongs to. The consolidation unit is also a display attribute of the profit center but the user may not be authorized for the entire consolidation unit. Without authorization he cannot see the display attribute. There is no authorization issue for the attribute display but there is a restriction for the consolidation unit as a whole. The user can summarize over the CU ( only.   How is this allowed in the latest versions that use analysis authorizations and not authorization objects?

Good afternoon Corwin,
Have a look at SAP Note 761089 - point 4 might be helpful. It may be that you haven't given the users enough authorisations to see and use the attributes.
Regards,
Karen

  • Displaying images that are accessed through URL

    Hi,
    I have trouble displaying images that are accessed through URLs in my report.
    If I call the URL directly in the Browser the Image can be opened without problems.
    The images can be accessed with an anonymous access.
    When I deploy the report or in the Preview of Visual Studio I get the following message:
    [rsWarningFetchingExternalImages] Images with external URL references will not display if the report is published to a report server without an UnattendedExecutionAccount or the target image(s) are not enabled for anonymous access.
    In Layout View of Visual Studio the image is showen correctly.
    The Images are stored on a Solaris maschine with WebSphere 6.0 as WebServer.
    Any ideas?
    Thank you.

    I have followed these steps but I still can not get the images to display.
    Our reportserver resides in the directory of another website rather than the default site.  I would assume that I would still follow the same procedure that you have listed but it did not help.
    Does anyone have any other recommendations?

  • How to create a user using XML and specifying addional attributes that are objects

    I'm trying to create a user using XML and specifying some attributes that are objects and not sure how to do it. How would I set the DirectoryUserAcl to Public?
    Here's the xml file:
    <?xml version = '1.0' standalone = 'yes'?>
    <SimpleUser>
    <UserName>mike2</UserName>
    <Password>abc123</Password>
    <AdminEnabled>false</AdminEnabled>
    <HomeFolderRoot>/home</HomeFolderRoot>
    <HasContentQuota>false</HasContentQuota>
    <DirectoryUserAcl> ??? </DirectoryUserAcl>
    <DefaultAclBundleAcl> ??? </DefaultAclBundleAcl>
    <HomeFolderPolicyBundleAcl> ??? </HomeFolderPolicyBundleAcl>
    </SimpleUser>

    I figured out the answer:
    <?xml version = '1.0' standalone = 'yes'?>
    <SimpleUser>
    <UserName>mike2</UserName>
    <Password>abc123</Password>
    <AdminEnabled>false</AdminEnabled>
    <HomeFolderRoot>/home</HomeFolderRoot>
    <HasContentQuota>false</HasContentQuota>
    <DirectoryUserAcl classname="SystemAccessControlList" refType="name">Public</DirectoryUserAcl>

    You are right that public members are available to all other instances of all other classes and that private members are only available to that particular instance of the class.
    In most cases, private members with public accessor methods (getXXX, setXXX) are suitable.
    This isn't really related to inheritance.

  • .Xmp files and saving, and these other files that are also .NEFs

    Okay, so my boss lives in Vancouver and I live in Ontario. I help her edit photos and then I email her a zip of all the .xmps. Now. Here is my question:
    I am currently running LR 2.6, and at the end of my editing I select all the photos and save the metadata to files, but in the TOP LEFT HAND CORNER (you know, where it has that little in progress bar) it says it is saving a weird variation of my original NEF file.
    For example...if I have a file that is originally called janie-awesome-0003.NEF it will save it as ._janie-awesome-0003.NEF (note the period and underscore before janie). So I can't tell if it has updated my .xmp files, so I can't tell as well if my boss is getting the proper files or not. I mean, she says she can see that the photos are edited, but is that metadata completely up to date??? This is what is freaking me out. What are those other NEF files? And why can't it just say "saving to .XMP" files instead of those weird NEF files?
    So in my folder I have the original NEF files, the weird NEF files, and also the XMP. Does the XMP get overwritten when I save them? My Automatically save XMP is OFF so should I turn it on?
    I am SO confused about the whole XMP thing!!!! How can I be sure that my boss is getting my COMPLETELY edited photos instead of just like my first sweep through or something?
    Thanks!
    Janie

    Does your boss also use Lightroom? It would be a lot less effort for you to send back the work using File > Export as Catalog. So you would email her an exported catalogue of the images you've edited, and she would use File > Import as Catalog to bring your work into her catalogue. File names would have to stay the same, and there are other details that need to be handled.
    The ._ problem is weird. Are the files on an internal or external drive? What sort of connection - USB? Mac or Windows?

  • I've got some "undeliverable" emails that are also undeletable

    Everytime I bounce spam, I usually get a load of undeliverable messages back which I also bounce.
    Bounce bounce bounce all day long.
    On a few occaisons, I've received an undeliverable message that I cannot delete from my inbox.
    Oh, it gets better.
    Then when I try and bounce it, it spawns yet another undeliverable message that also sits in my inbox. I've got about six of these things staring at me everyday.
    Taunting me. Daring me to bounce them.
    Anyone have any ideas on how to delete these for good?
    Any help will be greatly appreciated.
    Kindest Regards,

    Hello Greg.
    Since spammers don't provide a valid sending or return email address, why are you bouncing spam and then bouncing the return email error message indicating the bounced message was undeliverable?
    This is similar to a dog chasing his tail and is a complete waste of time.
    Do you keep the message preview pane open or closed?

  • Find Active Directory Attributes that are Not Set

    I'm trying to generate a report that lists all accounts where the thumbnailPhoto attribute in Active Directory is not set.  I've tried using WHERE thumbnailPhoto < 0, WHERE IsNULL({thumbnailPhoto}) and several others with no success.  Can anyone point me in the right direction?

    Hi,
    1) What version of Crystal Reports are you using?
    2) Are you using a SQL Query to report against the Active Directory?
    3) What is the datatype of the 'thumbnailPhoto' field?

    I have two laptops authorized with the same itunes account.  However, there are different playlists on each laptop.  One laptop is messed up and I cannot get on the internet with it, so I was able to deauthorize it from the itunes account.   I thought that would bring the playlists over to the other computer, but it did not.  Is there a way to do it?

  • Does photoshop cs6 not save over files that are also open in cs5?

    I started a project in CS5, saved it, left it open, then opened the same file in CS6.  Then I started steadily working on the file in CS6 for about 20 minutes.  I saved frequently while working in CS6.  Then Photoshop crashed, I believe because I had several smart objects open at once.  However, when I checked the file I had been saving, it was still in an identical state to when I stopped working on it in CS5.  Not only that, but the "recovered file" was about 10 minutes behind in CS6.
    This is really frustrating.

    I don't know what went wrong for you but you are correct that it's normally possible for CS6 to save over a file that's open in CS5, and vice versa, and the same thing is possible with many other apps.
    Furthermore, some apps watch for changes being made to a file which they have open and will automatically update the version of the file which they hold in memory with the modified version that another app has written to disc.
    Of course, there are apps, databases for example, which do lock files which they have open.
    None of that helps you, but just letting you know that you weren't wrong to expect your work to be saved.

  • I am using a trial version of Lightroom - not able to access my CC files that are already were moved into Llibrary

    Just recently my Creative Cloud files are not showing up in either the Library or Develop tab when I have already previously moved them over.  The arrow on the navigator tabs that is beside Creative Cloud is not solid as where it was before I started having these issues.

    What creative cloud files are you referring to? Are you using a trial version of Lightroom from the creative cloud or from the standalone installation? Have you canceled a creative cloud subscription? Your question seems unclear to me.

  • Basic panel disappeared from Develop module.  LR 5.7 Mac OS 10.10.1 Tried control clicking headers of panels that are still there.  Do not get a pop up list.  Can't find way to restore.  What should I do?

    Basic panel in the Develop model no longer appears.  Started this afternoon.  Been using LR 5 since it came out.  No problem before today.  Searched forums and did the control click on develop module headers.  Check list doesn't appear.  What do I do next?  I did a Time machine restore but nothing changed.

    I have now tried control click, command click, option click and combinations of these on 2 computers running the same lightroom versions, same Mac OS with the same result. No list of develop headers, no way to check/ uncheck. 
    LR on my MacBook has all the panels.  On my iMac Basic and Split Toning are missing. 
    The only result of clicking is collapsing or expanding the individual sliders under the headers. 
    My only thought now is to find the preference files for LR and delete them and see if the missing panels return.  Any other suggestions?
