I'm the administrator on a server on which SAS 9.4 is installed.  How can I prevent other users on the network from viewing the SAS log files that are produced when I execute SAS programs on my server?  SAS/Connect?  BI Server?  Metadata server?

I don't get to play admin process in my job, but you can turn off logging.

Turning off logging is not an option because I need that for de-bugging and documentation purposes.

Use OS folder permissions to prevent other users even accessing the folder where you store your SAS logs.

It depends on how you run SAS programs. If you use a workspace server (from EG or Studio), you can modify the logconfig.xml to redirect the logs to the current user's home directory, so users can only view their own (given proper protection of the home dir).
