Implement Content Restrictions in the SAS Metadata Authorization Layer

You can implement content restrictions in the SAS metadata authorization layer in order to:
  • control who can publish to a channel
  • control who can create a new channel
  • control who can self-subscribe to a channel
For more information about authorization and permissions by task, see SAS Intelligence Platform: Security Administration Guide.
Note: In a new deployment, only the SAS Administrators group can add channels, subscribers, and content. To enable all registered users to update and publish to a particular channel, navigate on the Folders tab to Systemthen selectPublishingthen selectChannels and grant W and WM to SASUSERS on that channel's Authorization tab (WM is required to publish only if a channel has an archive persistent store).To enable all registered users to add channels or subscribers, grant WMM on the relevant parent folder (for example, on the Systemthen selectPublishingthen selectSubscribersthen selectContent Subscribers folder). For more information about using permissions, see the SAS Intelligence Platform: Security Administration Guide.
