Security vs calculation

Question

Hi,
I had this post on essbase forum, but I thought I should post it here as this is planning application and I am using rule for my calculation.
I am having a situation which works exactly the way what I need if I restrict the calculation only to go through the members assigned to the users when the users launch the script. But, in my test it is not doing that. I have a scripts that covers few users (in fix) and assigned that for all of them. But every time one user running the script it is calculating the members which he is not having any access and causing some numbers mismatch issue. Is there any way we can restrict the calc to run only for the assigned members to the users. I tried to use some prompts and still it is not doing it right.
Also can I fix a slice of dimension and use 'AGG' on the same dimension to aggregate that slice only. I mean I only want to aggregate some hierarchies in the same dimension?
Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks,
KK

Hi,
For partial aggregation, also check out this post:
Re: More efficient aggregation rule
As Ahmet said, rules are run as admin on Essbase server. However, by cleverly using variables in your Fix you can limit the calculation specifically to the members your users have access to. Why it's not working the way it should is another question, sending your script might be more helpful to get a precise answer.
