I am new for SAS Admin. Please help me.   How can i create folder authorization permissions in a table or report format from metadata tables. I used %mdsecds but i am getting below error.   ERROR: Some code points did not transcode. ERROR: Encountered during XMLInput parsing at or near line 7499, column 56. ERROR: The definition for the "FOLDERS" table is not well-formed or is corrupt.   I want to consolidate all folder and sub-folder authorization and which group have permissions.      Thanks     ...

I have two folder structure and two groups.     Folder X contains  Apps and Executive_Apps subfolders. Folder Y contains same like above. Grus 1)X_Exec_viewer_group 2)Y_Exec_viewer_ group   Folder X and sub folders should be accessible by X_Exec_viewer_group only(Including Apps and Executive folders) . Folder Y and sub folders should be accessible by Y_Exec_viewer_ group only(Including Apps and Executive folders) .   Current settings are designed based on Denial ACTs on each folder. Which doesn’t look correct.        Group Name                                 X/Executive_Apps       |       Y/ Executive_Apps ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- X_Exec_viewer_group                             RM,R                    |          Dined  Y_Exec_viewer_group                            Denied                   |          RM,R   Means:E. g.: X_Exec_viewer_group is denied access to  Exececutive_Apps subfolder in X folder based on ACTs to Y_Exec_viewer_group and vice a versa.   Now of a person is given access to X_Exec_viewer_group and Y _Exec_viewer_groups both. They will not be able to access any of those Folders ie X->Executive_Apps and Y-> Executives_Apps folders because of denial ACTs .   it is fine for individual folder access request. But when we give two groups access to single user we are getting issue means that uset not able to access two folders based on Denial ACT.   Please guide me to set correct settings.   Thanks ...
