a. Roles determine which User Interface elements a user can see.

b. The features in applications that provide role**based management are called
capabilities.
c. Having a certain capability in a role is an alternative to meeting permission
requirements.
d. Applications that support roles include SAS Management Console, SAS
Enterprise Guide, and SAS Web Report Studio.
c. Having a certain capability in a role is an alternative to meeting permission
requirements.

**Having a certain capability in a role is NOT an alternative to meeting permission

requirements. Capabilities pertain to application functions and permissions pertain to
metadata content.
What is required for a user to be a member of SASUSERS and not just PUBLIC?

a. The user must have a database account and the user must have a well**formed
metadata identity.
b. The user must have a well**formed LDAP account and exist in PostgreSQL.
c. The user must have an account in the authentication provider and have a
well**formed metadata identity.
d. The user must have a well**formed metadata identity and save their password in
metadata.
c. The user must have an account in the authentication provider and have a
well**formed metadata identity.

**Having an account in the authentication provider makes a user a member of

PUBLIC. The users must have an account in the authentication provider AND have a
well**formed metadata identity to be a member of SASUSERS. The other choices do
not meet this requirement.
What do you use to update a special internal service account such as
sasadm@saspw?

a. SAS Personal Login Manager from the metadata tier

b. SAS Personal Login Manager on each account
c. SAS Deployment Manager on each SAS server tier
d. Configuration Manager in SAS Management Console

Given the definition:

A SAS metadata object that pairs logins with the server definitions where those
credentials will correctly authenticate.
What is being defined?

a. Authentication domain
b. Outbound login
c. Cached credential
d. Retrieved credential login
a. Authentication domain

**By definition the authentication domain is a SAS metadata object that pairs logins
with the server definitions where those credentials will correctly authenticate.
To support seamless access to database servers or SAS processing servers, a login
for outbound use may be defined in the metadata. An outbound login must include:

a. A user ID.
b. A user ID and password.
c. A user ID and authentication domain.
d. A user ID, password, and authentication domain.
d. A user ID, password, and authentication domain.

**An outbound login, defined in the metadata, has to have all three: a user ID, a
password, and an authentication domain because the process requires all three for
authentication.
Regardless of the authentication method that is in use, passwords must be stored in
metadata for which type of user?

a. Unrestricted user
b. Internal user
c. External user
d. Administrative user
b. Internal user

**Internal users (by definition) exist only in metadata, so the metadata must contain
passwords for these users. For external users, passwords can be stored either in
metadata or an external authentication provider. For unrestricted and administrative
users, the password storage requirement depends on whether the user is an
external user or an internal user.
In most deployments of the Platform for SAS Business Analytics, which type of
access requires passwords for external accounts to be stored in the metadata?

a. seamless access to the SAS datasets

b. seamless access to SAS OLAP cubes
c. seamless access to external databases
d. seamless access to the SAS datasets, SAS OLAP cubes and external databases
c. seamless access to external databases

**Any external database that requires credentials is when you would store
passwords in metadata. SAS datasets and OLAP cubes have permissions set in the
OS where they are stored.

Management Console and SAS Data Integration Studio, and the user can open the
table in SAS Data Integration Studio. The same user cannot see the tables in SAS
Add**In for Microsoft Office. What is the problem?

a. The Regional Data Library was not assigned to an application server.

b. The user does not have ReadMetadata permission on the tables.
c. The user does not have Read permission on the tables.
d. The user does not have Open permission on the tables.

By default, how do these applications assign libraries?

a. by using the SAS/ACCESS interface

b. by using the metadata LIBNAME engine
c. by using the BASE SAS engine
d. by using the server autoexec file
b. by using the metadata LIBNAME engine

**By default, SAS Enterprise Guide and SAS Add**in for MS Office always assign
libraries with the metadata LIBNAME engine.

metadata in the repository.
b. update table definitions to match corresponding physical tables.
c. update table security settings at the metadata and operating system level.
d. delete metadata for table definitions that exist in the metadata repository but do
not have a corresponding table in the physical library.
c. update table security settings at the metadata and operating system level.

**Updating table metadata does NOT update operating system level security
settings.

a. Libraries are available in stored processes with no additional steps.

**LIBNAME statements do not need to be written in stored processes and the

administrator has control over the library location and the libraries will be avialable
when stored processes run.
How was the SASDATA library assigned to the stored process server?

a. Assigned as part of the autoexec file.

b. Pre**assigned
c. Assigned by the user using the stored process server.
d. Assigned in the stored process code.
b. Pre**assigned

**On startup, the first set of libraries assigned are the pre**assigned libraries. the log
file also shows the autoexec file processing which in this case does not include any
library assignments.

A customer's environment has a standard workspace server instantiated by the

object spawner. What authentication is required to support this configuration?

a. back**end authentication
b. integrated authentication
c. host authentication
d. internal authentication

database.
Which permission, enforced by the meta engine, allows users to see the underlying
data?

a. Read
b. Create
c. Administer
d. View
a. Read

**When the meta engine is being used, the Read permission allows users to access

b. The data will be accessed using metadata controls.
c. The data will be accessed directly from the metadata repository.
d. The data will be accessed using the SAS Content Server.
a. The data will be accessed directly bypassing metadata controls.

**Submitting SAS Code, like a LIBNAME statement, bypasses metadata controls.

c. Give users access to only a subset of the rows or dimensions in a table.
d. Allow access to a table or library only if the user is in a specific role or roles.
c. Give users access to only a subset of the rows or dimensions in a table.

**The way that you establish permission conditions varies depending on the object
type. However, the purpose is always the same: to provide access to specific rows or
dimensions. The other types of listed conditions are not part of the SAS security
model.
Which statement regarding precedence principles for authorization is FALSE?

b. If identity precedence and the type of setting do not resolve a conflict, the outcome
is a denial.
c. Explicit settings have priority over ACT settings.
d. A direct member of multiple groups cannot have conflicting settings.
d. A direct member of multiple groups cannot have conflicting settings.

**A direct member of multiple groups CAN have conflicting settings based on the
group settings of which they are a member.
Metadata security for an item is completed by several directly applied ACTs. Some
confer a grant, others confer a deny.

How are the permissions resolved?

a. The majority vote is taken : i.e. if there are more grants than denies, this results in
a grant.
b. The ACTs are applied in the order seen on the Authorization tab. The first item
determines the outcome.
c. If there are both grants and denies at the same identity hierarchy level, the result
is a deny.
d. The ACTs are applied in alphabetical order: The first item determines the
outcome.
c. If there are both grants and denies at the same identity hierarchy level, the result
is a deny.

**ACTs are applied without giving consideration to the name or the order seen and
the outcome is based upon the grants and denies at the same identity hierarchy
level, the result is a deny.

Which permission level(s) should the platform administrator deny?

a. RM and R for PUBLIC

b. RM and R for PUBLIC and SAS Administrators
c. R for PUBLIC
d. RM for PUBLIC and SAS System Services
c. R for PUBLIC

**Restricted users means that they are not in the unrestricted role and the most
encompassing group is PUBLIC to address those users. It is only the READ
permission that addresses accessing data and NOT READ Metadata.
When the ACT is applied, what will be the PUBLIC group's permissions?

a. WriteMetadata will be denied unless there is an explicit grant. The other

permission settings depend on the context where the ACT is applied.
b. WriteMetadata and WriteMemberMetadata will be denied. The other permissions
will be granted.
c. All of the permissions will be denied.
d. You cannot tell by looking at the Permission Pattern tab of the ACT. You need to
look at the Authorization tab.
a. WriteMetadata will be denied unless there is an explicit grant. The other
permission settings depend on the context where the ACT is applied.

**Only the permissions explicitly granted/denied will be applied as ACT settings. ACT
settings can be overriden by more granular settings (for example a direct setting on
the object or to a group closer to the user).
