The SAS Metadata Server supports
a variety of authentication providers to determine who can access
the SAS Metadata Server. It also defines privileged users. Only a
user who has been granted unrestricted user status on the SAS Metadata
Server has unrestricted access to metadata on the SAS Metadata Server.
Only a user who has been granted either unrestricted user status or
administrative user status on the SAS Metadata Server can create and
delete repositories, modify a repository's registrations, change the
state of a repository, and register users. For more information
about metadata server authentication and privileged users, see the
SAS Intelligence Platform: Security Administration Guide.
