I have an analysis services cube in SQL server 2005 which I’m connecting to via an excel front end.
When I connect via one user its fine, but when I log on to the same machine as another user I get an error in my excel spreadhseet – “user…does not have access to the [Cube name] database”
Obviously the first user has the correct permissions, but how do I set up analysis services to allow other users to join the party?
Login to the machine with an account that is an administrator (Domain\CubeAdmin) on the cube. Connect to the cube in BIDS (run devenv.exe and open Analysis Services Database).
Under Roles, create a reader role and in the Membership tab, add the user account (Domain\NewUser).
All this will only work if the SSAS Server Administrator gives the Domain\NewUser access to the server.
