Granting Full Control Permissions

A member of the server role for an instance of Microsoft SQL Server Analysis Services can create a database role with Full Control (Administrator) permissions within a particular database, and then add Microsoft Windows users and groups to that database role. As a member of a database role that has Full Control (Administrator) permissions, a Windows user can perform any task within the database, including:

  • Processing database objects.

  • Reading database data.

  • Reading database metadata.

  • Adding users to existing database roles.

  • Creating new database roles.

  • Defining permissions for database roles.

Procedure

  2. Click General in the Select a Page pane, and then select the Full Control (Administrator) check box for the cube.
