SetObjectSecurityProfile
Purpose
The SetObjectSecurityProfile function assigns the Security Profile ID (set in the object) to the objects specified in the objList.
Requirements
All objects in the list must be in the same class.
You must be initialized as a super user to use this function.
Description
If PropagateFlag is set to MD_PROPAGATE, the Security Profile ID in all related objects will also be updated.
Related objects are determined by the containment relationships of the specified object. A containment relationship is a relationship that has delete propagation flag turned on. If object A is said to contain object B, it means that A is the origin object and B is the destination object of a containment relationship. Propagation will continue until an object is reached which has no containment relationships.
It is assumed that many customers will partition access to DIM objects based on databases. Most of the DIM relationships are containment relationships. The “propagate” feature allows administrators to set the security profile ID on a specific database object and the security profile ID will be propagated to all objects in the database.
