Need help with CASLIB and permissions

epower — Tue, 14 Jul 2020 21:26:21 GMT

We have a new SAS Viya environment and when defining a connection I am getting PERM_DIR_CREATE_FAILURE.

This makes me think there is a permissions within SAS not able to create an entry. I have permissions to create CASLIB and have also tried using elevated rights being a SAS Admin.

On the file system my used ID has read write to the directory being used.

Any help!! Below is a screenshot

@epower ,

Please reproduce the problem again and show me the most recent CAS server log from /opt/sas/viya/config/var/log/cas/default directory.

@alexal

I was able to get the data to finally load by creating a group called CASHostAccountRequired.

This was the only way I can get the Global Caslibs created.

Im still thinking of what the implications of having to use that group are for the long term and administration of the environment.

The only implication is if the user is in that group the CAS session will be started under his/her credentials, not the "cas" user.
