sas scheduling user group issue

Hi All,

lsf_adm user is a scheduling user, when this user creates a below tables, lsf_adm group is in domain users list but not in SAS group. when I checked the lsf_adm group by using "getent group sas" command ,lsf_adm is in the SAS group but when it is creating a file why it is in domain users group but not in SAS group. is there any method to create it in SAS group or is it a user setup issue in SMS or in AD. |Please advice.

-rw-rw-r--. 1 abc sas 27328512 Mar 26 2018 results_2.sas7bdat
-rw-rw-r--. 1 srv sas 36175872 Mar 26 2018 results_3.sas7bdat
-rw-rw-r--. 1 lsf_adm domain users 196608 May 20 10:28 test.sas7bdat
-rw-rw-r--. 1 lsf_adm domain users 196608 May 20 10:12 test2.sas7bdat

thanks in advance

SAS will use the primary group of a user when creating files. If group "sas" is not returned as the primary group when the LDAP source delivers user metadata, but instead gives you "domain users" as the primary group, then this will be used.

If you want all files created in a directory to belong to a certain group, do this:

set this group as the group of the directory (chgrp sas /path/directory)
do chmod g+s /path/directory (may need superuser)
