Introduction to Security Features

The SAS Intelligence Platform provides the following security features:
  • support for encryption
  • support for single sign-on
  • auditing of security events
  • proprietary, metadata-based authorization
  • support for authorization reporting
  • role-based availability of application features
The platform cooperates with systems such as the host environment, the Web realm, and third-party databases. To coordinate identity information, at least one user ID (such as a host, Active Directory, LDAP, or Web account ID) is stored in the SAS metadata for each registered user.
