PERMITRESET

The PERMITRESET command causes the values of permission conditions to be reevaluated. Permission conditions consist of one or more Boolean expressions that designate the criteria used by PERMIT commands associated with an object.

When permission conditions are dimensioned, they indicate which values of a dimensioned object PERMIT will target for permission. A single-cell permission condition can indicate any Boolean criterion, such as whether or not a particular user may access the object.

When you want to keep the existing PERMIT commands for an object, but you want the permission conditions associated with them to be recalculated, issue a PERMITRESET statement. The permission for that object will be based on the new values of the permission conditions the next time you use the object in an OLAP DML statement.

Syntax

PERMITRESET  [object_name]  [READ|WRITE]

Arguments

object_name

Specifies the name of an object for which permission conditions should be reevaluated. When you do not specify an object name, the permission conditions for all objects are reevaluated.

READ

Causes reevaluation of the permission conditions for PERMIT READ commands only, or for a PERMIT READ statement for the specified object.

WRITE

Causes reevaluation of the permission conditions for PERMIT WRITE commands only, or for a PERMIT WRITE statement for the specified object.

Examples

Example 21-35 Resetting Permission

In the following example, the user-defined Boolean function usercheck checks the current value of the variable thisuser and returns YES only when it is greater than 100. Access to the variable uservar is only allowed when thisuser is greater than 100. However, when you change the value of thisuser to a value less than or equal to 100 without resetting the permission for uservar, access is still permitted.

The statement

DESCRIBE uservar

produces the following output.

DEFINE USERVAR VARIABLE INTEGER
PERMIT READ WHEN usercheck(thisuser)

The statement

SHOW uservar

produces the following output.

5

The statement

DESCRIBE usercheck

produces the following output.

DEFINE USERCHECK PROGRAM BOOLEAN
PROGRAM
  ARG thisuser INT
  TRAP ON errorexit NOPRINT
  IF thisuser GT 100
          THEN RETURN YES
  ELSE RETURN NO
  errorexit:
       RETURN NO
END

The statement

DESCRIBE thisuser

produces the following output.

DEFINE THISUSER VARIABLE INTEGER

The statement

SHOW thisuser

produces the following output.

101

The statements

thisuser = 100
SHOW uservar

produces the following output.

5

The statements

PERMITRESET luservar READ
SHOW uservar 

produce the following error.

ERROR: You do not have permission to read this value of USERVAR
