AccessControl

Subtypes

Overview

An access control is an object that relates an identity and a permission to a resource in order to regulate access to the resource. The SAS Open Metadata Architecture authorization facility uses the information in access controls to return authorization decisions on resource requests.

The SAS Metadata Model defines two basic types of access controls: AccessControlEntry, which associates identities and permissions directly with a resource; and AccessControlTemplate, which enables users to define a template of identities and permissions that can be applied to multiple resources. AccessControl is a supertype and should not be instantiated. When defining an actual access control, use the AccessControlEntry and AccessControlTemplate metadata types.

AccessControl objects should not be explicitly created or deleted. Access controls are managed programmatically using the SAS Open Metadata Interface ISecurityAdmin interface, which is documented in the SAS 9.2 Open Metadata Interface: Reference and Usage. The ISecurityAdmin class provides methods for defining and managing direct access controls as well as access control templates.

Security Inheritance and Enforcement Rules

The following is a list of associations which are used to determine if this object should inherit access controls from another object (inheritance) or if the association is allowed for the object (enforcement). For more information about inheritance and enforcement rules, see the SAS 9.2 Intelligence Platform: Security Administration Guide.

There are no security or enforcement rules.
