Data Cell Access Security - we don´t get it
Hello,
we need to setup Data Cell Access Security based on our UD1 structure. UD1 defines our Business Unit structure and we need so setup security security on this. I spent days on this but I don´...
Hi Henning,
thanks for you quick reply. Please find a screenshot of our UD1 structure below. Each base Element represents some kind of a business unit which contains at least one entity. Going up the tree there are parent business units, the 4 divisions and on top "group" which represents the holding company.
So there are users which need to be restricted to one or more base elements, other users which need to be restricted to a parent business units, others to a division and some to the group. And for each level, all levels below need to be within the access as well.

OneStream EmployeeSomething to remember is that if the users who need to be able to see the business units want to see all entities, they will need read access to those entities (on the entity security settings).
In effect, the data access security on the cube cannot give users more access than their entity security does. So if a user needs to see a single business unit across the entire company, you would need to:
- Give them Read access to all entities (on entity settings)
- As Henning notes, the first item on the Cube Data Access would effectively then remove this access.
- Then you gradually add this access back as appropriate
I hope that makes sense
