Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. When setting up row-level permissions, I want to make sure that any query on a cube with a tenant id dimension is re-written to filter for that tenant ID

Describe the solution you'd like The queryRewrite function should be passed a parameter that lists out all cubes and allows to inspect the dimensions + measures on those cubes

Describe alternatives you've considered The alternative is maintaining a list of cubes manually. This gets tedious especially when extending cubes.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the current queryRewrite implementation to see how it is called and what parameters it receives. Then, propose changes to pass cube metadata (dimensions, measures) as an additional parameter.
