NON sa users get access denied in OLE DB query like "Ad hoc access to OLE DB provider 'MSOLAP' has been denied"

Error:

"Msg 7415, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Ad hoc access to OLE DB provider 'MSOLAP' has been denied. You must access this provider through a linked server.

OPENROWSET can be used to access remote data from OLE DB data sources
only when the "DisallowAdhocAccess" registry option is explicitly set to

In BOL, it also states "This option controls the ability
of non-administrators to run ad hoc queries. Administrators are not affected
by this option."

Connect to the SQL instance using "Management Studio"
Right click and select the properties for the corresponding provider
under Server Objects -> Linked Servers -> Providers

Enable the Option "Disallow adhoc access"....
This will create a registry entry DisallowAdHocAccess with value 1 under

Open regedit and search for "DisallowAdHocAccess" , change the value from 1 to 0 for the
appropriate provider.....(in this example it is MSOLAP privider...
