Interlektual property

Hello all,

How do I protect my Interlektual property for a BI solution ( analysis services) ?

I do not want others to be able to view and change my coding ?

Thanks heaps for any advise.

To deny others to see definition of your database, you should only grant Read rights to your users.
Others can copy your design if given Admin rights to your database or ReadDefinition rights.

Create a role in your database and grant Read permissions to your users.

I do not have access to the database but only the design of the BI solution.

It means the customer will own the database and I will deliver the BI solution.

How do I protect the solution not to be copied by someone else ?

Think of BI solution as the source code for you application. The same way if you giving out application source code, same BI Solution will be open for anyone to copy your design.

Giving out BI solution is not the way to protect your intellectual property. The minute customer owns a database customer can see the metadata and the logic implemented by it.
