We're using Environment Manager 2.5 with SAS 9.4 M5. I've set up a number of alerts (mainly for available disk space). However, when I select an alert which has been triggered, I can't acknowledge it. I'm able to set it to Fixed. See below from the Dashboard, with the Acknowledge button greyed out. Is this something I have to configure in the alerts somewhere? I couldn't find anything in the documentation.   ... View more

I've discovered a flaw in the access control model we have for our metadata. We have a large number of libraries saved (mostly) in their own metadata folders within /Shared Data, and ACTs are applied to those locations to ensure that only authorised users may view/update data within them. Up to a year ago this worked fine because nobody explicitly used metadata folders, simply saving and querying data sets within metadata-defined libraries. However, we got a new SAS infrastructure last year, which included Visual Analytics. As a result, users are explicitly creating VA reports within metadata folders.  I've now realised that the permissions on /Shared Data itself are inherited from the Default ACT, which grants SASUSERS RM,WM,WMM and CM. This means that any user may save their reports directly into /Shared Data. The easiest way to stop this would be to remove the WM grant from the Default ACT but I don't know if this would have any unexpected and undesirable consequences.   Does anyone have any thoughts on this?   Many thanks. ...
