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>

As a SAS platform administrator I like it because I can use it to administer much of the SAS 9 platform. I also like that I can use it to reach into, query and update SAS metadata in the SAS Metadata Server.
