Unable to write to two WRITE members on control dim

Post by vladino »

Hi guys,
we are experiencing a bit weird behavior on our TM1 application with control dim.

We have an application with Version dim as a control dim. Two members are set to WRITE but users are able to write only to the second one in the list. The first remain in read-only mode even if the group has WRITE access for both elements in Element security cube.

Or is this standard behavior of control dim?

When you say your version dim is a 'control' dim do you simply mean its name is prefixed with the '}' character or do you mean it's actually one of TM1's pre-existing control dimensions?

How is this dimension updated? I would assume it's updated via TI? Are you by any chance using DIrect functions to do that?

Is your Element security done via rules?

Are there any other object security types used e.g. Cell Security?

Hi,
ok, it seems I haven't explained the situation very well...

By "control dimension" I mean this:

It's updated manually.

Partially yes - CTRL group has WRITE access to all versions, other groups are maintained manually.

Yes but not in combination with Version dim.


I hope I'm clear enough now, sorry for misunderstanding...
