Using SAS 9.2 Metadata Security Reporting and Auditing Features

Overview Generating reports of user access rights or knowing who has changed security on a resource are critical aspects of a secure computing environment. In SAS 9.1.3, the SAS Metadata Server played a central role in the security of SAS resources. However, there were no tools or reports provided to indicate which users or groups had access to a particular resource, or who had changed the security on it. This paper explains the new SAS 9.2 security auditing capabilities built into the SAS Metadata Server and examines how this information might be used. In addition to auditing, security reporting macros are provided. The paper examines how to use these macros to extract the security settings for metadata objects into data sets that can be used to produce reports.
