Hi,
I am trying to access some files on my physical home folder, in Unix, from SAS Studio
the file is under /home/myuser/test.txt
I am using proc import / data step for the import, and I am having the insufficient authorization error.
I assume this is to do with the fact, that the code is running under sassrv, and that sassrv (via sasusers group) should have access to that file ?
what if I have files , that I don't want to share with other users, and only the owner will be able to read them in Unix and be able to import them in SAS Studio , would this file be either in /home/ or other folder with restricted permissions ?
Thanks,
and that sassrv (via sasusers group) should have access to that file ?
Yes

This is not possible by using a shared user. You need to stop using SAS Token Authentication and switch to Host-based authentication. In this case, you will be able to store and access files from your home directory.

I do not see any problems with host-based authentication and VA. Just make sure your users can start the workspace server.
