When security levels defined for applications, databases, users, and groups are insufficient, Essbase security filters give you more specific control. Filters enable you to control access to individual data within a database by defining what kind of access is allowed to which parts of the database, and to whom these settings apply.

If you have administrator permissions, you can define and assign any filters to any users or groups. Filters do not affect you.

If you are a power user, you can assign and define filters for applications that you created.

If you have Application Manager or Database Manager permissions, you can define and assign filters within your applications or databases.
