B306: Indirect Cost | Defining Database Security Profile Cube Visibility

Joel Llacar

The instructions does not exactly match what is on the screenshot on the page.

I see that we have to configure ""Deny cells editing where" set the Cube to "PLN - DF - Lock Planning. However. On the screenshot, it appears that option "Grant cells access where" was also configured.

But I do not see this set of instructions as well.

Therefore. I am not sure what to follow. NOTE: Step 3 is the last step on Data Model/Level 2 Demo/Database security instructions.

Hi Joel,

Thank you for sharing the screenshots and for highlighting the discrepancy.

After reviewing the instructions alongside the screenshot, we can see that the screenshot includes an additional Access Condition (Grant cells access where) configuration that is not explicitly mentioned in Step 3 of the course instructions.

Please follow the configuration shown in the screenshot, as this represents the intended final setup for the exercise. The screenshot shows both the Access Condition and Deny cell editing where sections configured using the PLN - DF - Lock Planning and SET - DE - Actual Reporting Months cubes with an OR condition.

We understand that the written instructions do not fully reflect the configuration shown in the screenshot, which can be confusing. For this exercise, we recommend using the screenshot as the reference for the expected end result.

Please let us know if you encounter any issues after applying the configuration shown in the screenshot.

Kind regards,
Shaun Owen
