Implementing a TM1 security scheme

You can implement a TM1® security scheme to secure objects on a remote server.

1. Define security groups.
2. Assign access permissions to the groups.
3. Define the Planning Analytics users.
4. Assign users to groups.

   You can implement the following security levels:

   Cube-level security

   Controls access to cubes.

   Element-level security

   Controls access to the cells identified by elements.

   Dimension-level security

   Controls the ability to add, remove, and reorder the elements in a dimension. This type of security is independent of cube-level and element-level security, except when users have no access to a dimension.

   Cell-level security

   Controls access to a cell.

   Note: A TM1 client and server communicate directly over the network with a TM1 user name and password. This security is independent of standard file system security and is not affected by user permissions on network directories or file servers.
