Cell Security NONE issue

[mnaithan]

Hello

I have assigned cell security 'WRITE' to some of the elements and NONE to all other elements on Products Dim on Price_and_Cost Cube (Please see attached figure) for Test group, now when user 'Micky' from 'Test' ( user belong to only that group) login and navigate to the Price_and_Cost cube user can see all the elements of Products Dim (please refer to pic attached), from my understanding Cell Security 'NONE' should not allow user to see the elements at all ( like element security NONE does), though user can't see the data entered in cells, according to principle of most restrictive and cell security user should not see any element with NONE , am I missing something here,thanks

Do not forget to implement element security if you want to restrict access to the elements themselves.

Your understanding is not accurate. Cell Security will not affect which elements users can see. It only affects what cube data they can see. If you want to restrict access to dimension elements you will also need to use Element Security.
