SAS Namespace Types

AssociationProperty


Subclass of PrototypeProperty


Overview

The SAS Metadata Model provides a Prototype metadata type to define templates that can be used to create metadata entities. The AssociationProperty metadata type is used with other prototype objects to define the associations that are needed in a given scenario.

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.

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.
