SPD Server User Proxy

The SPD Server user proxy is created by the SPD Server client, via the SASSPDS engine LIBNAME statement. The user proxy has the credentials of the LIBNAME statement, which include:
  • the user’s SPD Server user ID
  • the user’s SPD Server group name
  • the user’s ACLSPECIAL privileges
If there are multiple librefs in the same SAS session that have the same LIBNAME credentials, the librefs share the same user proxy. Any SPD Server resources (such as tables and views) that are accessed by the user proxy on behalf of a SAS procedure are granted access based on the credentials of the user proxy.
