Thank you for your feedback @WeiChen. We decided not to include interactive perspective feature in the new major release in 2025.06 due to the following few reasons: 1) we haven't seen significant usage of this feature across our customers, 2) we didn't want to hold off this major release that brings multiple new features features (see What's New section) because of interactive perspective, 3) there is already SAS Program code editor in Studio in standard perspective - while it does not include specifically interactive mode for programming it's still possible to achieve necessary results with it and 4) we wanted to keep focus on a few other important functionalities in Studio in short-term. That all said, we do not exclude a possibility to add back interactive perspective in the future if there will be sufficient demand for this functionality from our customers.

@bmcclelland  >>>> "Are you asking SAS to modify SAS/Studio to hide directories where the user does not have read permission? "   Yes, that is exactly what we are asking. If you would be logged in operating system with such a user that does not have read permission for certain directories in current folder and would execute a command to list directories in this folder, would you be able to see directories that the user does not have read permission? ...

SAS Studio displays files and folders from file system according to file system permissisons that are controlled on operating system (OS). If certain files or folders should be hidden it should be done on operating system / file system level. It would probably be good to discuss it with an administrator of your environment. ... View more
