Hi all,
I'm using SVA 8.5 and I'm editing user authorization to data tables. However, I encountered this issue. Does anyone have any experience in solving this?
Any help is much appreciated.
Thank you in advance!
Please see the topic Inability to Modify Access in the SAS Viya 3.5 Administration documentation.

Hi @myleha Im facing the exact same issue. I tried reading through the documentation but did not find any major insights.
Were you able to resolve this issue, if yes, please let me know the fix.
Thanks.
Try unloading the table from memory. Then, select the table from the Data Sources tab and try to open Edit Authorization.

@Madelyn_SAS Thanks, this has helped, now I can edit authorization on the physical table.
Going forward, should I edit authorization directly on a physical table or is it preferred to do it on an in-memory table?
The permissions should be set on the sashdat table, not the in-memory table.
This is from the documentation:
"The access controls for table {name} are being blocked by a loaded table of the same name"
, select or specify a source file (for example, tableA.sashdat), not an in-memory table. See Application and Persistence of CAS Access Controls.
