Hi,
I have a cube deployed to SSAS 2008R2 server. I have set up role based security, that goes down to individual dimension members level (eg, i dont want members of the France users role to see Region.Germany appearing in the dimension).
Users are using excel 2010 to browse the cube. However, if a user is a member of one of these groups it is taking a very long time (several minutes) simply to setup the connection to the server in excel. Users click Get External Data-> From Other Sources -> SSAS. They enter the server name and then have to wait ages for the list of DBs. Once they have selected the cube they then have to wait ages again to actual be able to begin browsing.
If i change a user to be the SSAS Server Admin on the SSAS instance, then they can connect almost immediately with no delays. Switch it back and it repeats the problem. I have replicated this issue with several accounts.
Is there a reason that role security in the cube should take so long?? Is there a setting somewhere i can change to speed this up?
This is preventing me from implementing cube security!
Any help would be gratefully received :)
Thanks
Guy
