ResponsibleParty
Subclass of SecondaryType
Overview
This metadata type associates a responsibility with an identity. Later, this ResponsibleParty object can be associated with one or more resources.
A ResponsibleParty object must be created in the same SAS Metadata Repository as the Person or IdentityGroup object of the identity that it describes. New methods have been added to the SAS Open Metadata Interface that create and get ResponsibleParty objects in the appropriate repository, regardless of whether the requesting identity has WriteMetadata permission to that repository or not. For more information, see AddResponsibleParty and GetResponsibleParty in the SAS 9.2 Open Metadata Interface: Reference and Usage. A ResponsibleParty object:- May be associated with a single identity.
- Is considered to be contained by the identity.
- Is deleted when the associated identity is deleted.
- May not be edited or extended after creation.
- May have a SAS-supplied or user-defined responsibility.
- Has the name of the associated identity.
- Inherits security from its associated identity.
- Does not imply a security-based role. It simply stores information about a type of responsibility that the identity has with associated resources.
Security Inheritance and Enforcement Rules
The following is a list of associations that 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.

The responsibility as defined by the Role attribute may apply to one or more resources. An application with a requirement to determine all the resources for which a person has been assigned a particular responsibility would find the ResponsibleParty object, where role is the responsibility in question, and for that ResponsibleParty object, obtain the list of resources.
