Data Security Synchronization between Elasticubes

I was wondering if there is a possibility to synchronize the data security between elasticubes.

For example, I have Elasticube A & Elasticube B which use one field (the same) for data security.

Elasticube A is updated Monthly.

Elasticube B is updated Weekly.

The question is, if there is a functionality or a way to synchronize them. eg. If a change is done to Elasticube A, to synchronize the access rights of Elasticube B "automatically" .

    Hey MikeGre​ ,

    This is not possible. You could manually export the updated model and import it as the older model, e.g. export elasticube B and import it as elasticube A. However this does mean that the elasticubes are also the same in regards to tables and fields etc. Otherwise you could use a python script to pull the datasecurity from B and push it to A.

    Hey both!

    Thank you for following up on my question!

    HamzaJ​ thanks for the details! I was aware that "duplicating" an elasticube would keep the Data Security roles, something I was intending to do!

    My main question was mainly focusing on-top of this step. For example, after re-importing an elasticube keeping the data security rules synchronized! I assume that a python script will do [?], but I was hoping something if there was an easier or a more simplistic feature to synchronize the Data security rules between 2 [or more] elasticubes!

    Not sure if this question, or similar was raised, maybe it would be an idea for future development or if it's already on the roadmap.DRay​ could enlighten us! :)

      Hey MikeGre​ ,

      Great find. I took a look at it and...;

      1. It works with custom code e.g. jupyter notebooks. This is implemented within the elasticube functionality. You can create a cube, select this notebook and it will ran with every cube refresh. Cube refreshes you can schedule. You could also implement this in the source cube and everytime it refreshes it will copy the DS to another cube.
      2. It doesnt seem it does a lot of validations. I only see it validates cubes exists or not
      3. Yes. It should work. Linux only btw
