Verify WebDAV Folder Permissions for User-Defined Templates

During the SAS Model Manager installation process, the ModelManager, sasfolders, and sasdav WebDAV folders are automatically created with default permissions on the SAS Content Server. If you migrated or upgraded from a previous release, the WebDAV folder permissions should be preserved. Use the SAS Content Server Administration Console (SCS Admin Console) to control access to an existing WebDAV folder.
Here are the default permissions for a new installation of SAS Model Manager for the folder /ModelManager/ConfigTemplates/ext:
Group
Permissions
Description
mdlmgrusers
Read
Model Manager Users group
mdlmgradminusers
Read, Write, and Delete
Model Manager Administrator Users group
mdlmgradvusers
Read
Model Manager Advanced Users group
In order to create new model and report templates, as well as edit existing user-defined templates, users must have Read and Write permissions to the /ModelManager/ConfigTemplates/ext folder.
To verify or modify the folder permissions for the ext folder:
  1. Access the SAS Content Server Administration console by entering the following URL in your web browser and substituting the server name and port number of your SAS Content Server: http://server-name:port/SASContentServer/dircontents.jsp.
    Note: The default port number for the SAS Web Application Server is 7980 for a UNIX environment and 80 for a Windows environment.
  2. Sign in to the console as an unrestricted user (for example, SAS Administrator). The SCS Admin Console window appears.

  3. Click ModelManagerthen selectConfigTemplates.
  4. Click the permissions icon Properties for the ext folder. The Permissions page appears.

  5. Modify the permissions for the mdlmgradvusers principal to give Write permissions by changing the WRITE and INHERIT WRITE permissions to Yes.
    Note: It is recommended to give Delete permissions only to the mdlmgradminusers group.
