What does this Authorization tab represent in the SAS Demo User Properties
window?
Question - Authorization tabs always represent the permissions users and groups
have over the object in question. This is no different to metadata identities. A user's

formed metadata identity.
b. The user must have a wellQuestion - formed LDAP account and exist in
PostgreSQL.
c. The user must have an account in the authentication provider and have a
wellQuestion - formed metadata identity.
d. The user must have a wellQuestion - formed metadata identity and save their
password in metadata.
c. The user must have an account in the authentication provider and have a
wellQuestion - formed metadata identity.
Question - Internal passwords are also stored in the SAS configuration files so the
SAS Deployment Manager is used to update each configuration directory.
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
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.
Question - 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
Question - 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?
Question - Only three tools are available for editing SAS authentication domains and
include: SAS Management Console, SAS Personal Login Manager and SAS
Enterprise Guide.

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

engine is used. This is why any engine can be used.
Which statement is an advantage of preQuestion - assigned libraries?
Question - On startup, the first set of libraries assigned are the preQuestion -
assigned libraries. the log file also shows the autoexec file processing which in this
case does not include any library assignments.

in the database.

data?

b. Create
c. Administer

delete observations in physical tables that exist and are registered in metadata only.

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.

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.
Question - 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.

OLAP cube registration.
A platform administrator wants to prevent all restricted users from accessing data
that requires the Read permission.
Question - 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 platform administrator wants to create an ACT that gives exclusive read access to
metadata for SAS Administrators and service identities. What permissions should the
administrator assign in the ACT?
a. Grant SAS Administrators and SAS General Servers RM and deny PUBLIC RM.
