Add row and column level security to your data directly from MicroStrategy Workstation.


Ajitpal Raina

Quality Architect, Senior - Director • MicroStrategy


Starting with the release of Strategy ONE (March 2024), dossiers are also known as dashboards.
New Features & Functionality
Add row and column level security to your data directly from Strategy Workstation
Administrators can create and apply security filters directly from Workstation that limit the data that users can see when accessing a dossier or dataset. Administrators and developers who use Workstation to create and publish datasets or dossiers on a server can now personalize the content for a specific end user. With a simple interface, administrators can now not only create users on Workstation, but can also assign and control security access to every user. Security can be assigned at the row level via security filters to control what row-level entries the end user can access.

Additionally, administrators can also assign “Object Security Access” to any user. This filter allows administrators to add security at the column level and control which attributes and metrics users are able to see.
