Overview of ACL Manager
Click the ACL Manager folder in the SAS Management Console window
to manage ACL resources. The ACL Manager panel resembles the following
display:
You must connect to an SPD Server host machine before you can use the SPD Management utilities. For information about
connecting to an SPD Server host, see Connect to an SPD Server.
List ACL Resources
To display the ACL resources that have been defined, click List ACL in
the ACL Manager panel of the SAS Management Console window.
The ACL Manager display contains the following components:
Owner
resource owner. You
cannot change this field directly. To change a resource owner, delete
the resource, and then add a new one.
Resource
resource name. You
cannot change this field directly. To change a resource name, delete
the resource, and then add a new one.
Type
type of resource (for
example, DATA, CATALOG, or VIEW). You cannot change this field directly.
To change the type of a resource, delete the current resource, and
then add a new one.
Column
column name, if the
resource is limited by a column constraint. You cannot change the
column name directly. To change the column name, delete the existing
resource and then add a new one.
Persist
a Boolean flag. When
this value is set to Yes, the ACL resource definition continues to exist if the referenced resource is deleted.
If
the Persist setting is blank,
the ACL resource definition is deleted when the referenced resource
is deleted.
Name
name of a user or group
to which the Read, Write, Alter, and Control permissions are applied
for this resource. Universal is the default
setting for all unnamed groups or users.
Read
if this check box is
selected, the user or group has permission to read this resource.
Write
if this check box is
selected, the user or group has permission to write to this resource.
Alter
if this check box is
selected, the user or group has permission to alter this resource.
Control
if this check box is
selected, the user or group has permission to modify the permissions
of other users and groups that are associated with this resource.
Add an ACL Resource
To add an ACL resource, click Add ACL in the ACL Manager panel of
the SAS Management Console window.
Specify the following
values in the Add ACL window:
Resource
name of the resource
that you are adding.
Column
column restrictions
for the resource that you are adding. If there are no restrictions,
leave this field blank.
Type
type of the resource
(for example, DATA, CATALOG, or VIEW).
Persist
a Boolean flag. If you select this check box, the ACL resource definition continues
to exist if the referenced resource is deleted. If
you do not select this check box, the ACL resource definition is deleted when the
referenced resource is deleted.
Generic
select this check box
if the resource name is a generic name.
LIBNAME
select this check box
if the resource is a LIBNAME resource.
R, W, A, C
select the appropriate
default and group permissions to grant Read, Write, Alter, and Control
permission to the resource.
Model
specify the name of an existing ACL resource to use as a model for this ACL resource.
Delete an ACL Resource
To delete an ACL resource, select the appropriate row in the ACL resource table and
click Delete
ACL. The ACL resource is removed, and the list is automatically
updated.
Add a User or Group to an ACL Resource
To add a user or group to an ACL resource, click Add ACL User in
the ACL Manager panel. In the Add Acl User window,
enter the user or group name in the User field.
Select the boxes that correspond to the default Read, Write, Alter,
and Control permissions that you want to grant. Then click Add.
The user is added, and the ACL listing is automatically updated. You cannot delete
an individual user or group from
an ACL resource. To delete a user, you must delete the entire ACL resource, and then
add it, omitting that user.
Change Resource Permissions
Each ACL resource has at least one set of permissions called universal permissions.
Universal
permissions are the default permissions for the ACL resource if no other permissions
are applied. If any group names or user names have permissions for the ACL resource,
they are displayed.
Each set of permissions
has four attributes: Read, Write, Alter, and Control. To enable a
default and group permission for each resource, select the appropriate
check box.
