Cube has announced the general availability of data access policies in both Cube Core and Cube Cloud, enhancing its universal semantic layer by allowing users to define access control rules directly in data model files. This feature, which supports both member-level and row-level security, has been refined based on feedback from Cube Cloud customers. Cube Cloud now also includes an LDAP integration, enabling the importation of user roles and permissions from LDAP servers, which can be used in data access policies. Additionally, Cube Cloud authentication integration enhances authentication processes by allowing connections to Cube's SQL API to be authenticated against user lists in Cube Cloud accounts. These new capabilities aim to streamline access control management, particularly for enterprise customers, by leveraging existing LDAP infrastructure and providing a structured approach to security.
