Tip
You can define a local cube by navigating to the OLAP Tools | Offline
OLAP option in Excel's Analyze tab. Choosing this option activates the
Offline OLAP Setting dialog that has a Create offline data file… but-
ton. It activates the Create Cube File wizard. The wizard allows you
to choose the dimensions, dimension members, and measures that you
would like to include in the local file and specify the full path and name of
the file with the .cub extension.
5. The Process option allows role members to process measure groups within
a particular cube. Generally, cube users do not need this permission on pro-
duction instances. The majority of SSAS implementations only grant access
to read cube data.
