AccessControlTemplate
Subclass of AccessControl
Overview
The AccessControlTemplate (ACT) metadata type enables you to define a template of individual users, groups, and permissions that can be applied to multiple resources. This template is stored as an independent resource that can be associated with other resources. Use this metadata type when you want to confer the same set of authorizations on multiple resources. Because an ACT is independent of the resources that it controls, it is also easy to maintain when an update is needed. Any change that you make to the ACT will be enforced on all resources that reference the ACT.
An ACT should not be explicitly created or deleted. ACTs are managed programmatically using the SAS Open Metadata Interface ISecurityAdmin method class, which is documented in the SAS Open Metadata Interface: Reference and Usage. The ISecurityAdmin class provides methods for defining and managing direct access controls as well as access control templates.Security Inheritance and Enforcement Rules
The following list of associations is used to determine if this object should inherit access controls from another object (inheritance), or if the association is allowed for the object (enforcement). An association will not be created unless the calling user is authorized to update one or both objects involved in the association. For more information about inheritance and enforcement rules, see the SAS Intelligence Platform: Security Administration Guide.
- There are no security or enforcement rules.

| Use | This is a field that can store a symbolic flag indicating a special use for this particular ACT. Note: A specific ACT may have only one special use. If an ACT needs to be used in more than one way, then a new ACT should be created for each additional Use value. The additional ACTs would then simply add the original ACT to their AccessControlItems | String | 40 |
