The following figure
depicts some of these rules.
In the preceding figure,
the solid arrows indicate selected SAS 9.3 inheritance rules. The
hollow arrows indicate selected inheritance rules that existed in
SAS 9.1 but are discontinued in SAS 9.2 and later. In SAS 9.2 and
later, libraries, tables, OLAP schemas, and cubes inherit from only
their parent folders.
Note: You can use the
Inheritance tab
to identify any item's parents. In SAS 9.3, you access this tab by
clicking the
Advanced button on any object's
Authorization tab.
The
Advanced button is available to only
unrestricted users.
Here are some other
causes of authorization differences:
-
If you migrate a custom repository,
ReadMetadata access to that repository (and, through inheritance,
its contents) might be expanded. The new repository is parented by
both its repository ACT and by the
SAS Folders node
in the folder tree.
Note: We recommend that you manage
ReadMetadata access on the folder that represents the custom repository.
Do not make changes on the custom repository's repository ACT.
-
If you migrate a SAS Data Integration
Studio custom tree, access to ungrouped objects might change.
