Sharing Data Sources and Cubes

Imagine that one of your colleagues have discovered a valuable data source on the Internet that she used in a cube for one of her internal projects. In fact, you need the same data source for one of your projects as well, but rather than duplicating the data source (and taking up additional memory on the server), you ask your colleague to simply share the data source with you.

To share one of your data sources, you should right click the data source and select “Share”.

With whom you would like to share it, is selected from your list of Active Directory users within your domain.
