ResponsibleParty
Subclass of SecondaryType
Overview
This metadata type associates a responsibility with an identity. Later, this ResponsibleParty object can be associated with one or more resources. A ResponsibleParty object must be created in the same SAS Metadata Repository as the Person or IdentityGroup object of the identity that it describes. New methods have been added to the SAS Open Metadata Interface that create and get ResponsibleParty objects in the appropriate repository, regardless of whether the requesting identity has WriteMetadata permission to that repository or not. For more information, see AddResponsibleParty and GetResponsibleParty in the SAS Open Metadata Interface: Reference and Usage.
ResponsibleParty objects
- May be associated with only a single identity.
- Are considered to be contained by the identity.
- Are deleted when the associated identity is deleted.
- May not be edited or extended after creation.
- May have a SAS supplied or user-defined role.
- Have the name of the associated identity.
- Inherit security from its associated identity
- Do not imply security based roles.
- Are stored in the same repository as the identity object by default (Foundation).
- Responsibility not Role should be used when options are presented to end-users. Role can imply security roles.
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.

Attribute Details
Role
Type: String 100The responsibility the associated identity has in relation to the associated objects. Begining in SAS 9.2, the list of SAS-supported roles will be maintained and localized within a utility jar. Supported roles include: OWNER USER ADMINISTRATOR CHANGEDBY
Association Details
Objects
Cardinality: 0 to *
Partner: ResponsibleParties
The responsibility as defined by the Role attribute may apply to one or many objects. An application with a requirement to determine all of the objects for which a person has been assigned a particular responsibility would find the ResponsibleParty object where Role is the responsibility in question and query the Objects association to obtain the list of objects.
Associated Types:
*ALL TYPES*
Persons
Cardinality: 0 to *
