Overview

Represents a physical operating system path. Directory objects should not be shared by logical metadata definitions. Each logical metadata definition that includes a directory should define its own Directory object.

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.
