Acquire Access to Compound Dimensions from Components
Compound Dimensions are built using two existing Dimensions. One is designated as the Primary Dimension and the other as the Secondary Dimension. This feature is designed to provide two methods of granting access to the Compound Dimension:
- Assign access to the new Compound Dimension based on "All" or "Selected Dimension Values"
- Inherit access based upon Permissions already granted to the User at the individual component Dimension level; i.e., any User that has access to one or more of both Primary AND Secondary Dimension Value(s), is automatically granted access to the same combination of Dimension Values in the Compound Dimension
In the example below, the User's access is limited to two Dimension Values for both the Primary and the Secondary Dimension and can view Metric Charts ONLY for the two combination Compound Dimension Values.
