Turning off options on the server so that it cannot be over-riden in SAS EG code

Hello,

Is there a way to turn off all options (at a server level) so that users can't over-ride then in Enterprise Guide?

Thanks,
Sharda

What options do you mean? Please provide some examples.

There are many options in SAS, some which configure a SAS session so can only be used when starting SAS and there are many others that can be used in SAS code. It would not make sense to restrict programming options even if it were possible.

That option can't be restricted. See this link for options that can be restricted or not:
