When I’m reviewing SAS® metadata security implementations, I find it useful to have baseline security metadata to refer to. This baseline documents the initial state of metadata security (ACTs, ACEs, users, groups, roles, capabilities, protected objects, logins and internal logins) for a fresh new SAS software deployment. When reviewing a SAS installation I can then [...]
