  • You are granted read permission to access specific data in the OLAP cube.

  • You try to open the report filter to change the filter criteria on the Pivot Table. The filter criteria was previously set to show the data for which you have no access permission.

  
  In this scenario, you cannot open the report filter dialog box. Additionally, you receive the following error message:

  Operation canceled by user.
