Metadata Dimension Security for the Scenario Dimension

For models defined with Direct Access to PCR, all data dimension security defined in PCR is honored in Spotlight. All metadata for the Financial cube is visible to the users in Spotlight, except for the Scenario dimension. Users will see only the scenarios that they have been given access to in PCR.

For example, if a user has access only to the East region, they will see all the other regions in the Dimension list boxes but will see only data for the East region. For the Scenario dimension, users will only see the metadata for the scenarios they have access to in PCR.
