1These files are located in your equivalent of SAS/Config/Lev1/SASMeta/MetadataServer/.
Tip
Do not make the SAS Trusted User (sastrust) unrestricted. If the SAS Trusted User is unrestricted, then deployment problems (such as the inability to launch certain servers) occur.
Tip
Do not make predefined groups (such as SAS System Services or SAS General Servers) members of other groups. Instead, preserve access by adding grants for these groups as necessary (when you narrow access for the PUBLIC or SASUSERS groups).
