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.

Attributes

Name Description Type Length
Marker The marker that needs to be replaced. This is the substitution string that should be replaced.   String 64  
ValueType The type of the value to replace the marker with. May be used to specify the name of the attribute contained in the associated metadata object that should be used in the replacement.   String 128  

Inherited Attributes
Name, Id, Desc, MetadataCreated, MetadataUpdated, ChangeState, LockedBy, UsageVersion

Associations

= indicates the resident side of an association, or where the association is persisted for cross-repository associations. If no resident side is indicated, this association may not cross repository boundaries.
