Architect level security setup for cubes, dimensions and any connected object

It would be very helful and userfriendly if the user rights could be populated by dimensions as well.

In Architect, if we opened cubes security and set the UserGroup rights for Cube, then the dimensions which contained by the cube also automatically granted the same right.

Now we need to set it all manually from paw entering to all dimension e.g.: Write right.

So it would be helpful if with just one click on the cube rights, we can set the rigth for the cube.

We may consider this. However, I suspect that some modelers found this behaviour in Architect a bit confusing. Maybe we could prompt the modeler if they also wanted to provide READ access to the dimensions that are used in a cube when setting READ or WRITE access on a cube. I don't think we want to give users WRITE access to a dimension just because the user has WRITE access on the cube.

I also want to point out that we build a helpful shortcut into PAW already. In the modeling workbench, if you expand a cube in the model tree there is a Dimensions node under each cube. If you right click on that Dimension node there is an option to edit dimension security. This will open the cube viewer to the }DimensionSecurity cube and show only the dimensions used in that cube. This makes it a bit easier to set security for the dimensions based on a cube.
