Hi,
Can we do the Metadata user management with base SAS code instead of using SAS Management console. In my project we want to edit user permissions on a real time basis.
e.g. adding/removing users in the already created groups in metadata
creating new SAS users in metadata etc.
Any help on this would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Nikhil
Editing metadata in SMC is a real time action...
So describe a bit more what you mean be real time, what is the requirement?
The most straight forward technique to update user/group metadata in the background is to use the %mdu-familly macros.
Hi Linus,
Thanks for writing. Business scenario is below.
a) We have a user base out of which metadata permissions for few users might change on a frequent basis. This information would be retrieved and stored in a datasets multiple times in a day.
b) we need to use this information and update the user metadata multiple times in a day using batch job.
I hope this clariifies the problem statement.
Thanks,
Nikhil
See my answer in your other thread.
And STOP doing multiple posts about the same question in different communities! It is NOT helpful.
Agree kurt missed that other one....
The SMC is just one of the may interfaces doing and capable of doing updates into the metadatabase.
You can write almost anything using your own coding.
