SAS Namespace Types

AssociationProperty

Overview

The SAS Metadata Model provides a Prototype metadata type to define templates that can be used to create metadata entities. The AssociationProperty metadata type is used with other prototype objects to define the associations that are needed in a given scenario.

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.
