Hidding a Cube in Perspective

[wilsonmax]

There are some questions about display/security settings in Perspective:
1 How to hide a Cube - not to display to a user group (besides Security Assignment - setting NONE to that group is possible)?
2 How to hide a Cube - not to display to a user group but allow them to run TIs and those TIs will retrieve data from the Cube?

I believe its the only way to hide it (correct me if I am wrong please). Security Assignment is pretty straightforward, so not sure why you wouldn't use it?

2 How to hide a Cube - not to display to a user group but allow them to run TIs and those TIs will retrieve data from the Cube?

TI always runs with admin rights, so by giving users read access to that TI they will be able to get data from cubes with NONE security assignment

Thank you for your reply!

So, set NONE in Cube Security Assignment and then set READ in TI Security Assignment should fulfill my needs (Cubes should not be shown in Perspective but user could execute TI Process (CELLGET & CELLPUT) via Active Form).

Well "yes" as long as you are doing something in that TI like pulling data OUT of the cube users can't see with a CellGetN and pushing data INTO a cube that users can read with CellPutN.
However quite why you would want to do this as opposed to giving users read access to the cube you want to hide in the first place is a mystery to me. If there is sensitive data in the cube that users shoudln't be able to see you would normally solve that with element or cell security. Can you elaborate on your use case as to why you would want a "data shuffling" kind of solution?

My purpose is to:
1) Hide the selected Cubes (stored system parameter, e.g.: export file path) from user so that he/she could not change the value in the Cube (only IT admin could change it)
2) However, user will trigger a TI to execute calculations logic and then export some reports referring to the path parameter in the above Cube

So, that's why I want to set NONE for the Cube Security Assignment, but READ for the TI Security Assignment.
