Create a Cell Security Check Function, similar to CellIsUpdatable, but retuning READ/WRITE/NONE based on the client access.

In our models, we allow users to run TI processes to move data from a generic Staging Cube to the final Planning Cubes. The staging cube accepts free text input as the target dimensions which makes harder to implement security directly on that cube.

When the user calls the TI process to move the data from Staging to the planning cube, just before the CellPut, I would like to check the Security rights by calling a function like this one below. Similar idea when we use the CellIsUpdatable before a CellPut, but in this case I would like to check security instead.

I wrote a TI that does this check Security on a particular user, however the TI became very complex and it will probably have an impact on performance.

    That's right Stuart. I have also proposed a TI function:

    TISecurityOverwrite(i [, ClientName]);

    Set to future consideration. This is a good idea. We might be able to simplify this by having a Ti function or TI process option to run the process as if it was a non-admin user.
