Can a server administrator control access to a server?
Yes. By default, SAS/SHARE software does not restrict who can connect to a server nor which files they can access, but you can restrict access to a server with the OAPW= and UAPW= options in the PROC SERVER statement. The OAPW= option specifies a password that the server administrator must supply (using the OPERATE procedure) to connect to the server. The UAPW= option specifies a password that the user must supply in the LIBNAME statement to establish communication with the server. Of course, your file system restricts a server’s access to files according to the privileges of the files and the server’s process. You can also set up a secured server. For more information, see Server Security.
