Thank you for the reply. We're currently using Windows SAS Server (Programmers/Statisticians use RDP to connect) and a second drive on the server (virtual) that business users (Data Management, Project Management, Finance, etc.) have mapped to view reports, datasets, etc. No problems with this setup...have had it for 8+ years. However we're working on adding additional security (directory-level with auditing) and some leadership want to utilize our security groups/process we have through our Sharepoint instance. To me, the amount of updates to programs, potential new software needed, changes in process / SOPs, etc. would never make easier security worth it. Before arguing against it, want to make sure A) is it possible? and B) that I understand any potential benefits of doing this. Seems like it would be handled using Active Directory regardless so not certain of how it's better. Thanks again!
