Hi All,

 

We have noticed that in SAS Studio web page we can access any file with the help of file shortcut function.

 

We have already disabled folder shortcut webdms.allowFolderShortcuts to "false" on the recommendation of SAS Technical team. But here I wanted to block the ''file shortcuts''.

 

This file shortcut is allowing me to access any file which is there in Disk.

 

Please refer the screenshot and help us with your suggestions. \

 

And let us know if this idea can be consider.

You can still program a fileref in code anyway, so what's the deal?

If you need to protect files or directories, do so on the OS level.

Thanks for your swift reply! Kurt.

 

If I know the path on the OS level I can access the files, outside the SAS folder. like c drive files located on the root level.

 

I want to access on file which are in the D drive SAS.

 

Please refer the screenshot in which I have created a file shortcut c:\file.txt and I am able to acess with my normal SAS rights on the SAS Studio

Please make up your mind.

Do you want to have access to a location, or do you want to prevent it? Right now I can't make sense of your two posts.

Hi Kurt,

 

 

Sorry for confusing you.

 

I want to access the files inside the SAS folder (SAS Binaries or SAS Config) i.e. D:\SAS94 (which is already working)

I dont want to access the files outside the SAS folder like files from C drive E drive, and D drive other than SAS folder.(this we have to fix)

 

I hope this gives you a clear idea, what I am looking for.

 

Thanks in advance,

Rituraj

Then you should take a look at the LOCKDOWN feature.
