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.

What is the source of the data that is surfaced to the Dashboard or Spreadsheet?  Cube Views, Quick Views, GetCell() that get data from the Cube should be honoring the MetaData security.  However, if the data is being surfaced via a let's say a Data Adapter reading from some relational data source, then the data adapter has to replicate the desired security.

The source for both is the actual cube.
