SSAS relies on Windows authentication to authenticate users. After a user has been authenticated, SSAS controls permissions within the databases based on the user’s role membership.
Role permissions are database-specific.
After an installation of an instance of SSAS, only the members of the server role have server-wide permissions to perform any task within the instance of SSAS. By default, no other users have any access permissions to the objects in the instance.
Members of the SSAS server role can grant other users access to server and database objects by using:
In order to test the permission, the user or role credential must be changed.
Windows “Run as” feature to start an application such as SQL Server Management Studio, and test administrative permissions such as those granted through membership in the server role or the database-level Full Control (Administrator) permission.
