To add an explicit
grant or denial to a table or a folder:
-
Log on to SAS Visual
Analytics Administrator, and expand the navigation pane for folders.
-
In the folder tree within
the navigation pane, locate the table that you want to protect or
make available.
-
Right-click the table
or folder, and select
Authorization.
The authorization properties
are displayed.
-
On the
Authorization page,
locate the user or group that you want to assign an explicit control
to. If the user or group is not listed, click
to open the
Add Identities window.
Note: An explicit grant of the
ReadMetadata permission is automatically set for each identity that
you add.
-
Click a cell and make
a selection from the drop-down list.
Note: If the selected identity
is an unrestricted user, all permissions are granted and you cannot'
make changes.
Note: When you click outside the
cell, a yellow star
(indicating an explicit control) is displayed in
the cell that you updated.
-
If you changed a group's
access, review the impact on all of the listed identities.
Note: This is important because
controls that you add for a group can affect access for all members
of that group. For example, an explicit denial that you add for the
PUBLIC group blocks access for all restricted users, unless there
are also explicit (or direct ACT) grants. You must offset a broad
explicit denial with explicit (or direct ACT) grants for any restricted
identities whose access you want to preserve.
The effective permissions
are updated immediately when the group permissions are modified.

Note: The effective permissions
are updated immediately when the group permissions are modified.
Tip
To apply or remove access
control templates (ACTs), use SAS Management Console.
