EGP Ownership changes to sassrv no matter the owner creating it

[shoin]

I have SAS 9.2 M3 (yeah) on AIX.  SAS Token Auth using ID sassrv .

The issue is if EG project is saved it gets saved no matter who is the end user, the permissions and ownership are sassrv.  I have looked at FS for any ACL, looked for any script setting umask or chg ownership and nothing points to any root cause.  There are 2 users who do not have this issue, I am trying to review their setup, meanwhile, interested to know your thoughts.

Thank you in advance,

SAS Token Authentication runs the Workspace Server using the shared credential (sassrv), usually because the user accounts do not exist on the compute server. Perhaps you don't want to use token authentication?

Thank you, does the same come into play when simply saving a EG project?  I tested by doing a simple proc setinit; run; code and saved as a project (file > save project as> navigated to directory > saved).  I am logged in w' my own credentials.  yet when I go to the file system, it is owned by sassrv ID with 744 perms.  Any idea?  I really do not wish to change the current setup, there are many end users, crontab jobs, etc.  It will be a mess.

TIA

If you are saving to the server, yes. If you are saving to your local machine, no.

As long as you use a pooled workspace server running as sassrv, any file created on the server will be owned by that user. There is no way around that, you need to switch to a non-pooled WS.
