Sometimes you want to find all of the SAS metadata objects a user may be associated with. Where SAS applications have tagged a user as a ResponsibleParty, we can use the Metacoda Metadata Explorer with an advanced XMLSELECT style query to find them. Use the following query (including curly braces) in the Search field, replacing the Name value (demobob here) with the name (not display name) of the user you want to look for:
{{{ *[ResponsibleParties/ResponsibleParty/Persons/Person[@Name='demobob'] }}}This will show all objects in metadata where demobob is present as one of the responsible parties (see below).
These results can then be exported to a CSV file if you want to send them to someone.
If the person’s DisplayName is more memorable than their Name (which can sometimes be a cryptic login id) then the DisplayName version is:
{{{ *[ResponsibleParties/ResponsibleParty/Persons/Person[@DisplayName='Bob Baxter'] }}}The Metacoda Metadata Explorer plug-in is free to use for SAS users, so it you want to install it then register for a Metacoda account to download it.
