Important

If a Microsoft Windows user or group belongs to multiple database roles, a query on all cells would first result in a dataset being generated based on each database role to which the user or group belongs. Then, Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Analysis Services (SSAS) would combine of all these datasets into one dataset, and return that combined dataset to the user or group.
