Usage Note 36919: SAS® 9.2 SAS® Stored Processes use client credentials for SAS® Metadata Server access

DetailsAboutRate It

In SAS® 9.2, the SAS® Stored Process Server uses SAS Token Authentication. The invoking client user's credentials are passed to the SAS® Stored Process Server and used for all communication between the SAS Stored Process Server and the SAS® Metadata Server. This functionality is new in SAS 9.2.

In SAS® 9.13, all connections to the SAS Metadata Server from the SAS Stored Process Server were done using the sassrv account (SAS General Server login account) credentials. So, the sassrv account required extensive access to Metadata. In SAS 9.2, since client credentials are used for metadata access, you can restrict sassrv access and apply authorizations on all metadata objects to client user identities.
