|Remote access to other SSAS instances|Add the service account to Analysis Services database roles defined on the remote server|Remote partitions and referencing linked objects on other remote [!INCLUDE[ssASnoversion](../includes/ssasnoversion-md.md)] instances are both system capabilities requiring permissions on a remote computer or device. When a person creates and populates remote partitions, or sets up a linked object, that operation runs in the security context of the current user. If you subsequently automate these operations, [!INCLUDE[ssASnoversion](../includes/ssasnoversion-md.md)] will access remote instances in the security context of its service account. In order to access linked objects on a remote instance of [!INCLUDE[ssASnoversion](../includes/ssasnoversion-md.md)], the logon account must have permission to read the appropriate objects on the remote instance, such as Read access to certain dimensions. Similarly, using remote partitions requires that the service account have administrative rights on the remote instance. Such permissions are granted on the remote Analysis Services instance, using roles that associate permitted operations with a specific object. See [Grant database permissions (Analysis Services)](../../analysis-services/multidimensional-models/grant-database-permissions-analysis-services.md) for instructions on how to grant Full Control permissions that allow processing and query operations. See [Create and Manage a Remote Partition (Analysis Services)](../../analysis-services/multidimensional-models/create-and-manage-a-remote-partition-analysis-services.md) for more information about remote partitions.|
