The financial management system provides security to hierarchical members.
For instance, when a supervisor (let's say "a") logs in, the slicers will only show the values that they have read permission for. In this scenario, supervisor "a" has been assigned with four salesmen (let's say "w", "x", "y", and "z"), and each of them has read access to specific products.
When supervisor "a" logs in, they will see all the four salesmen in the slicer for the sales hierarchy, and the products available in the product hierarchy (i.e., Camera, Photo paper, Printer, and Ink). However, when supervisor "a" selects salesmen "x", the product hierarchy will still display all the products, even though "x" only has read access to Camera. This is because the product dimension member security is assigned to the user who logs in and not to the members of other dimensions.

Setting Read and Write Permissions
In the Properties window for a member, you can set access permissions for an individual user or a group that the user belongs to. Follow these steps:
1 Click Add to add one or more users and groups.
2 On the Security page, select one or more identities.
To grant Read permission, select the Read check box. To deny Read permission, clear the check box.
To grant Write permission for data entry, select both the Read data and Write data in a form check boxes. To deny Write permission, clear the Write data in a form check box.
To restore default Read and Write access to a user or a group, click the name of the user or group in the display region, and then click Remove.
Note: The Write data in a form permission is honored only for data entry in a form, not for posting adjustments, ETL jobs, or other operations.
