Patent ID: 8819783

Claim:
A method for multi-dimensional security, comprising: displaying a graphical user interface for configuring multi-dimensional security for models having dimensions that are associated with a model site, the graphical user interface configured to: associate a group role with a model by receiving a selection of what models and what dimensions are to be associated with the group role; receive a selection for setting a group permission for the group role between a low permission and a high permission when determined; associate a user with the model and the dimensions that includes a user permission for accessing data associated with the model and the dimensions; display a permission customization selector that, when selected, enables receiving customizations to the user permission, wherein the user permission is associated with the group permission; in response to receiving the selection, store the user permission and the group permission within a relational data store; generate a collective user permissions table from the user permission and the group permission within the relational data store, wherein the collective user permissions table identifies collective user permissions based on the group permission for accessing data associated with the model and user permissions for accessing data associated with the model; and push the collective user permissions that are stored in the relational data store to a multi-dimensional store to provide multi-dimensional security for a multi-dimensional representation.
