How to restric the ouput destination of a PROC EXPORT

[NicolaG]

Hi,

For security reasons, we are searching for a solution to restrict the destination path for proc export. We want to block the access to the local drive. Anyone have a solution?

You may need to describe your SAS environment in much more detail.

If everything goes through a server you should be able to restrict user permissions.

If you are talking about stand alone PC with SAS loaded locally you are going to have a very hard time with this.

To control where SAS writes to, consider to use LOCKDOWN:

LOCKDOWN Statement

In a client/server environment, you can (and should) use the tools of the operating system (permissions) to control where users can write to; also use file system quotas to prevent users from wasting storage.
