You will have to give the users access through the management console but the SAS/Share server will not be checking whether the user has rights on the file system settings to acces those datasets, just the UserID that has started the server needs those.&nbsp;</P> <P>As an alternative you could set up a group on the linux level and play with group ownership on the datasets and the rights there.</P> Fri, 26 Jun 2020 11:55:44 GMT MCoopmans 2020-06-26T11:55:44Z https://communities.sas.com/t5/Administration-and-Deployment/Share-Server-and-user-permissions/m-p/665309#M19301 <P>I want to set a up a share server in linux. I want that the users need userid and password to use the share server, but the files should be accessed with the user rights of the share server.</P> <P>Running the share server with AUTHENTICATE=OPTIONAL, everybody can use the share server and access all files available to the share server. Running it with AUTHENTICATE=REQ, only users known to the system can use the share server and access the files the users are allowed to access.</P> <P>What I want is a mix:</P> <P>only users known to the system can use the share server (i.e. they have to use userid+apsswd), and they can access all files available to the share server.</P> <P>I.e. accessing the files, the share server does not check against the user rights.</P> <P>Is this possible?</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> Fri, 26 Jun 2020 11:11:45 GMT https://communities.sas.com/t5/Administration-and-Deployment/Share-Server-and-user-permissions/m-p/665309#M19301 JMS 2020-06-26T11:11:45Z https://communities.sas.com/t5/Administration-and-Deployment/Share-Server-and-user-permissions/m-p/665318#M19303 <P>I think you can get that behaviour when you use a metadata server and have metadata bound libraries.
