					<description><![CDATA[A question that comes up regularly when demonstrating the Metacoda Activity Reviewer plug-in is &#8220;Can it be used to view/audit users access to SAS tables in a SAS 9 platform?&#8221;. I have recently shown that it can by making use of a standard SAS 9 logging feature. The SAS platform provides the ability to log &#8230; <a href="/blogs/paul/2026/06/metacoda-activity-reviewer-dataset-auditing/" class="more-link">Continue reading<span class="screen-reader-text"> "Metacoda Activity Reviewer and Dataset Auditing"</span></a>]]></description>

However, sometimes the information you need might not be there by default. Thankfully the SAS 9 Logging Facility is flexible and allows a wide range of configuration customizations.
