Hi,

I have Microsoft SharePoint question that someone might have answer for.

I have Windows Server 2003, SharePoint portal, Business Intelligence (BI)
portal, and Analysis Service installed on same PC. I have one admin login
(administrator) and other non-admin logins (user1, user2) created. In
Analysis Service cube, I have two roles (role and role2) that have access to
only certain dimensions in cube. Added user1 to role1 and user2 to role2.
When I browse cube using Analysis service, this role based security is
working fine and data is viewed as per security permissions for user1 and
user2.

On SharePoint, I have created a Business Intelligence (BI) Portal that
accesses the same cube as outlined above. I am logging into machine as
Administrator and logging onto IIS/SharePoint as User1. However, when I
browse the cube through SharePoint/BI Portal, my role based security defined
in analysis service for user1 is not working and I get to see all data.
Instead, I should be able to see only that data that user1 has access to
because I am connecting to IIS/SharePoint as user1 (logged onto machine as
administrator though).

If I login machine as user1 (and not administrator), login to IIS/SharePoint
as user1 and then view cube through SharePoint-BI Portal, I see only that
data that user1 has access to. So, the security is not working when login to
machine as administrator but login to IIS/SharePoint as user1/user2.

Does anyone know how to impose role based security in SharePoint/BI Portal
even if I logged onto machine as administrator?

This is the newsgroup for Windows SharePoint Services.

You'll find the SharePoint Portal Server 2003 newsgroup at

microsoft.public.sharepoint.portalserver

(Not that I imagine that even there there will be many people with this
combination on the same server - but hopefully when you post there you'll
explain which Business Intelligence portal you have installed)

Hi,

I am using windows sharepoint services. I am using Business Intelligence
Portal (BIP) template (by microsoft) for creating a site.
BIP uses Office Web Components (OWC).

I have no experience with the BI webpart stuff (but soon i will!! ;)) but it
seems to me that the analysis services use the credentials that are in SQL
Server right?
With Sharepoint/IIS you use the application pool to connect to the database
therefore using an admin account. That's probably the case here also.
Can't you define user credentials in the webparts?
