Mining Model Roles
A mining model role applies to a single mining model and includes a list of Microsoft® Windows NT® 4.0 or Microsoft Windows® 2000 user accounts and groups that have access to the model.
The specifications in a mining model role apply to end users' access to a mining model on an Analysis server while they are connected to it with a client application. Mining model roles are not used to grant or deny administrative access to models.
Usually, database roles are created and then assigned to mining models. Each assignment grants access to the model and creates a mining model role with the same name as the database role. The database role provides default membership for the mining model role, but users can be added or deleted from the default membership of the mining model role.
Mining model roles are immediately subordinate to the mining model. The mining model roles in a mining model apply to only that model. However, changes to role membership in a mining model role propagate to the database role and all mining model roles with the same name as the changed mining model role.
In Analysis Manager, mining model roles are created and maintained in Mining Model Role Manager and the Mining Model Role dialog box. Database roles are assigned to mining models in the Mining Models tab of the Database Role dialog box or in Mining Model Role Manager.
Mining model roles are usually the last objects created in order to deploy a mining model.
If you are programming with Decision Support Objects (DSO), the class type associated with the cube role is clsMiningModelRole.
