  Use the **Security Context** dialog box in [!INCLUDE[ssBIDevStudioFull](../includes/ssbidevstudiofull-md.md)] to change the user and role used to examine data or metadata for a [!INCLUDE[msCoName](../includes/msconame-md.md)] [!INCLUDE[ssNoVersion](../includes/ssnoversion-md.md)] [!INCLUDE[ssASnoversion](../includes/ssasnoversion-md.md)] object. You can display the **Security Context** dialog box by clicking **Security Context** in the **Toolbar** pane on either the **Calculations** tab or the **Browser** tab in Cube Designer.

 **Other user**  
 Type the domain and user name of another user or group to use while viewing the data and metadata of the [!INCLUDE[ssASnoversion](../includes/ssasnoversion-md.md)] object.
