Essbase Security Maxl Script

Here is a simple example of how to maintain Essbase security in a maxl statement:

spool on to Security.log;
login admin password on localhost;
set timestamp on;


/*-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------*/
/* READ ACCESS TO WEST AND ITS DESCENDANTS ONLY */
/*-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------*/
create or replace filter Sample.Basic.'Read_WestMarket_Filter' READ on '@IDESCENDANTS("West")';


/*-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------*/
/* CREATE GROUP(S) */
/*-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------*/
create or replace group 'Read_WestMarket_Group';


/*-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------*/
/* GRANT FILTER ACCESS TO GROUP(S) */
/*-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------*/
grant filter TestApp.TestDb.'Read_WestMarket_Filter' to 'Read_WestMarket_Group';


/*-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------*/
/* ADD USERS TO GROUP(S) */
/*-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------*/
alter user testuser1 add to group 'Read_WestMarket_Group';


logout;
spool off;
exit;

Create all of your filters in one section, then create all of your groups, then grant the filters to the groups and finally put the users in those groups.
