Restricting the access to Multiproviders while using Analysis for Excel

Hello,

I am facing an issue while restricting the access to Multiproviders for a certain User group when they use Analysis for Excel (office).

In BW, we cannot restrict the access on the Multiproviders as post this activity the users will not be able to execute queries on the Multiproviders.

So, I need to try this at the front-end.

We have OLAP connections created for the users to access Analysis in CMC and via this, they can connect to the BW system.

Question is, can I try restricting the access to a multiprovider via CMC but allow the user to continue accessing queries on these multiproviders for reporting?

The users may continue to see the option of a Multiprovider but no data should be displayed when one tries to execute a report in Analysis for Office.

Any pointers are appreciated.

Thank you.

PS: Please let me know if the problem statement has been understood. Else, I will try to put it in a different way.
