    3. Save the Model
    4. Log out with the admin user.

  4. Log in with the End-user.
    1. Go to the previously Created Story.
    2. Notice that the changes are not being applied. The new dimension member is not visible.

Cause

  • Once the public version has been modified, it will behave as a private version.

Resolution

  • The behavior is By Design
  • The end-user should "Revert changes to the public version" OR "Publish and Update Existing Version" to see the newly granted dimension members (i.e. USA).
    1. Revert changes to the public version
      • The changes will not be applied
      • The TYPE will be Public again.
