Data Cell Access Security (Slice Security) Not Working With Multiple UD Dimensions

Does anyone have information on how to get Data Cell Access (Slice) Security (henceforth DACS) to work when applying it to multiple UD dimensions?  The app has the entity and scenario security set.  ...

    rjgoss  - I tested with the following testing and it is working with multiple UD's. It is simple test but it is working as expected. Refer the screenshot.

    Note: You have to set the Behavior if the user in Group with filter and without filter.

Does it work if you remove the Entity and Account filters in your screenshot and put the UD2 dimension on the columns?  That is more similar to what I am needing to do.

Thanks.

    Thanks for the assistance.  It's definitely not as straight forward as one would think.  To add a bit more for anyone reading this, when adding back the security, you need to use all the dimensions in each row of the DACS.

    This doesn't work:
    Remove UD1 from everyone.
    Remove UD2 from everyone.
    Remove UD3 from everyone.
    Add back all UD2 to a group that the user is in.
    Add back specific parts of UD1 and UD3 to a group the user is in.

    This works:
    Remove UD1 from everyone.
    Remove UD2 from everyone.
    Remove UD3 from everyone.
    Add back specific parts of UD1 and UD3 plus all UD2 to a group the user is in.
