Hi - I am sending out Cube URLs to the end user to view the cubes from the browser. I notice that it is possible to view another cube by changing the cube name in the URL. Since the cube names are very similar, I wanted to know how I can ensure that the user does not access the cubes not authorised for him/her.
I am not building user class security in the cubes at this point.
 
You have to shut off the table of contents in PPES.

Shutting off the TOC still allows users to 'spoof' the URl and gain access to the cubes. There arer two ways, 1, the way you don't want go, build security right into the cube. 2, add passwords to the cubes. The second option becomes tedious to maintain, but you could assign different passwords to the cubes and allow for 'single sign on' to those cubes for the correct usres.
