How to set celldata and Permissions to Role

Hi All,

I know how to create a role and adding Members(users) to that role by using AMO class library,but i need some sample code like how we can set the database permissions to the role and how we can set the celldata to that particular role.If any one knows about this please send reply immediately.

it is very urgent.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

I believe the Adventure Works sample AMO application has code for creating permissions (search for CubePermission or DimensionPermission in the code):

In general, you can use this 'reverse engineering' trick to get AMO code:

- create the objects you want with the user interface (in BI Development Studio with wizard/editors or in SQL Management Studio); in this case, use the security dialog to setup the database/dimensions/cubes permissions

- then look at the XML: in BI Development Studio, right click on the cube item -> View Code and search for the CubePermission XML fragment to see the CubePermission, similar for DimensionPermission; in SQL Management you can right click on the cube, script Alter or Create, and then find the CubePermission XML fragment

- to be easier to read, copy the CubePermission in a separate file

- there is a 1-to-1 relationship between the AMO classes and properties and the XML, by reading the XML you will know what classes and properties to set; for example, the <CubePermission> element tells you to create in AMO a CubePermission object; the <Name> sub-element corresponds to the Name property
