Security in the SAS Intelligence Platform

The security features of the SAS Intelligence Platform offer these benefits:

• single sign-on from and across disparate systems

• secure access to data and metadata

• role-based access to application features

• confidential transmission and storage of data

• logging and auditing of security events

• access control reporting

The SAS Intelligence Platform is not an isolated system. The platform's security model cooperates with external systems such as the host environment, the Web realm, and third-party databases. To coordinate identity information, SAS keeps a copy of one ID (such as a host, Active Directory, LDAP, or Web account ID) for each user. This requirement does not apply to any users for whom a generic PUBLIC identity is sufficient.
