Best practices for designing access control will emerge as you gain experience with this feature. Here are some suggestions to get you started:
| • | Review the detailed implementation example found in the Jaspersoft OLAP Ultimate Guide to understand the entire implementation process. |
| • | Start with a clear description of the requirements before writing XML. |
| • | Determine the different roles played by users of your application, and assign specific roles to each user. |
| • | Create a hierarchy in each cube that corresponds in a one-to-one way with the different levels of access. That is, make a hierarchical level that corresponds to a user role. Defining the access control requirements before building the schema is much easier than adding access control after designing the schema. |
| • | Build your access control definition iteratively. Start with the smallest definition that you can test. When it works properly, add and test additional increments until you have a complete definition. |
| • | Use an XML editor to help you format access grants properly. |
