Content Organization
Folders are the primary objects used to group OLAP analyses and business dashboards that share common user or group permissions.
To collaborate with team members, your content must be connected to a shared folder. This structure allows you to categorize
BI tools usage by department, business unit, or project subject.
Dual-Layer Security: While folders control visibility within the
SSAS reporting tools environment, users still require appropriate permissions at the
SSAS cube level to retrieve and visualize actual data.
- On the Main Menu, click the „Create Folder“ link located on the right side of the screen.
- Assign a descriptive name and click “Save”.
- Click “Permissions” to define access. Select the relevant Active Directory users or groups and assign either “Read Access” or “Read/Write Access”.
Personal vs. Shared Content
My Analysis Folder
Every user is provided with a private 'My Analysis' folder. When you save a new report, it is automatically stored here and remains invisible to others, including users with access to OLAP reporting features. This folder is permanent and cannot be deleted.
To share your insights, you must move or "connect" the analysis to a public folder. Once shared, the content becomes available to any user or group with the necessary Object Permissions. For more advanced organizational tips, visit our BI Tools FAQ.
