Datamodelling and SA security

Hi,

I've got a app that several bosses is using, showing all kinds of KPIs etc.
I'm using SA so that each boss only sees the economics and KPIs related to their own department.
Now I got a question if I can tighten up the security so that each boss only sees specific accounts, still within their department. This is only used when they is looking at the economic-part of the app. Fine, I did a synthetic key with department and accounts and a table with all combinations and it worked nicely in the transform-stage. But I had forgot one small detail when I moved over to the load-stage, I still need the department in the fact-table due all the KPIs.

Anyone got a idea how I can work around this?
I've made a simple demo to show what I mean.
