Administering Portal Authorization |
The Publishing Framework plug-in for SAS Management Console enables you to define SAS publication channels, which are conduits for publishing particular categories of information. You can set up a channel for a particular topic, organizational group, user audience, or any other category. After you have defined publication channels, authorized users can subscribe to them and automatically retrieve information whenever it is published to those channels.
Users of SAS Information Delivery Portal can manage their subscriptions from within the portal. The portal enables users to select channels to subscribe to, specify the desired delivery transport (such as an e-mail address or message queue), and specify filters that indicate which information is to be included or excluded.
In order to publish to a channel, users must have Write permission to the channel. A WriteMetadata permission is required only if a channel has an archive persistent store. To add channels or subscribers, the WriteMemberMetadata permission is required on the relevant parent folder.
For instructions about assigning permissions to channels, see the SAS 9.2 Security Administration Guide. For more information about the Publishing Framework and channels, see the online Help in the SAS Management Console. Also, see the SAS 9.2 Publishing Framework: Developer's Guide.
