Hello,

I have an accounts hierachy with about 10 000 botton level accounts
that roll up into various relationship managers. now one account
can be managed by multiple managers. I remember in Oracle Hyperion
a bottom level member can be "shared" between loads of parents.
How is this done in SAS OLAP?

On this page:http://support.sas.com/documentation/cdl/en/olapug/59574/HTML/default/viewer.htm#a003212362.htm
I read "You cannot share levels between dimensions." Which does not sound so good to me.

The relationship of those 10 000 bottom level members comes from a nice flat table that I
can design according to what SAS OLAP likes but I am not keen to use SAS OLAP Cube studio
to hand pick my bottom level member allocations.

Hi Angela,
Thanks for the reply.
My problem has nothing to do with security. When I say "shared" I dont mean
shared in terms of access but shared between different parents.
So one level 0 account can be under level 1 "John Smith" and level 1 "bob healey"
and when this level 0 account changes, it is seen by both level 1 account managers. I think the nice thing behind this idea is that the data is --not--stored twice but just referenced twice. a similar idea in SAS might be "multiple hierachies" but its not exactly what I want.
