All entity security settings set to "Nobody", yet non-admin user stills sees data for entity

Hi, I have set all security settings on an entity to "Nobody" and yet when I see a dashboard using a non-admin user I still see data. The same when using a spreadsheet. This does not make sense to me...

    Also, check your application security roles and the "ViewAllData" role.  If this has "Everyone" this group trumps/overrides/supersedes any individual entity security you are trying to apply.

In the dashboard it's from a simple Cube View; in the spreadsheet it's a quickview querying the cube directly, nothing fancy. As you say, I was hoping metadata security alone would suffice for this, but it seems it's not working as expected.

Are you absolutely positive the user is not directly or indirectly a member of the Administrators group?  Administrators trump all OS security.  Take a look at or provide a screen shot of Cell Status for a Cube View value for the Entity in question.

    I can confirm that the user is not directly or indirectly a member of the Administrators group.
