Symptoms
Consider the following scenario:
-
You implement row-level security as dynamic security in a model project in a Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Analysis Services (SSAS 2012) instance that is running in tabular mode.
-
You use an effective username or a client application to perform role testing, and then you run a Multidimensional Expressions (MDX) query in the SSAS 2012 instance.
Note You are a member of the Administrators group in the SSAS 2012 instance. -
The query is canceled because of valid errors (for example, a time-out error occurs, or the user cancels the operation).
-
You run another MDX query.
In this scenario, you receive one of the following error messages:
An error was encountered during the evaluation of the row level security expression. Role: RoleName. User: 'Domain\UserName'. Table: TableName. Error message: The operation was cancelled by the user.
An error was encountered during the evaluation of the row level security expression. Role: RoleName. User: 'Domain\UserName'. Table: TableName. Error message: The session was cancelled because it exceeded a timeout setting (session orphaned timeout or session idle timeout) or it exceeded the session memory limit.
