When I try to connect to SSAS from SSMS, I get an error as below:
When I check the application event log, I see:
Solution:
Give the SSAS account Modify permission on the file.
It appear that the SSAS account needs a write/read permission on the file in the beginning. After that, the SSAS database seems to be initialized and synchronized, the explicit permission for the SSAS account is not required anymore. In some cases, I even have to explicitly remove the account from the Security list.
