Using Roles in Data Mining Models

Data mining models, like other objects managed by Microsoft® SQL Server™ 2000 Analysis Services, can have security roles assigned to them to restrict access to the model and to its prediction capabilities to specific users and groups.

As data mining models are linked to databases in Analysis Manager, database roles are employed to grant or deny access to a data mining model linked to a database, similar to the use of a database role with a cube. Mining Model Role Manager handles the task of creating, editing, and maintaining mining model roles.

Caution  Because database roles can be shared with other cubes and data mining models, a change made to the definition of a role, such as the name or the user membership, affects other cubes or data mining models that use the role.
