Question 1

As a SAS Viya administrator, you must manage user-defined formats that are utilized by both SAS Studio and other SAS Viya applications. A requirement has been set that these formats must be available to all users and sessions without manual intervention. How should you make the formats available to fulfill this requirement?

Options :

A : Assign the user-defined formats to a global macro variable that is accessible by all SAS sessions.

B : Define the formats in the SASAUTOS directory and reference this directory in all SAS code.

C : Save the user-defined formats in an application-specific configuration file.

D : Incorporate the user-defined formats in a custom format catalog and save it in a permanent location that is pre-assigned for all sessions.

Answer: D

Question 2

When configuring stored credentials in SAS Viya, you are required to implement a change that will allow a group of users to access a specific database with a shared service account. This account's credentials need to be updated monthly due to security policies. After the initial setup, what approach should be taken to update the stored credentials to minimize service disruption and manual intervention?

Options :

A : Manually update the credentials every month by deleting and recreating the credentials object.

B : Utilize the SAS Environment Manager to automate the update of the credentials using the scheduling feature.

C : Implement a script using the SAS Security Model REST API to update the credentials, and schedule it to run with the operating system-s scheduler.

D : Direct users to update their individually stored credentials within their personal profiles on a monthly basis.

Answer: C

Question 3

A company has set up a SAS Viya environment and wants to ensure that only certain users can load data into the SAS Cloud Analytic Services (CAS). They plan to use built-in roles to manage this permission. Which CAS role should be assigned to a user to allow them to load data into CAS but prevent them from administering the server?

Options :

A : CASUser

B : CASDataLoader

C : CASDataManager

D : CASAdmin

Answer: B

Question 4

After successfully deploying a patch update in your SAS Viya environment, how would you confirm that the updated components are functioning as expected without affecting current users' workflows?

Options :

A : Immediately direct all users to perform their regular tasks and monitor system performance.

B : Use a phased approach by gradually introducing subsets of users to the updated system while monitoring performance metrics and log files.

C : Revert the system to its pre-patch state and compare the performance against the updated system.

D : Independently validate the updated components using automated tests designed for post-patch verification without involving active users.

Answer: D

Question 5

You have been asked to grant a user read, write, and delete permissions on a specific table in a CAS library, but you should ensure that no other user can modify these permissions. What is the best course of action to secure these authorizations?

Options :

A : Assign the user to a role with read, write, and delete permissions on the table and remove the ability to alter permissions from other roles.

B : Use the authorization action 'grant' to directly give the user the specified permissions on the table and 'lock' the permissions so they cannot be altered.

C : Modify the CAS table-s metadata with an access control entry to grant the user the needed permissions and assign the "Metadata: Administer All Permissions" to the user only.

D : Create a condition-based permission rule on the table to grant the necessary access to the user and ensure that only a security officer can change permission rules.
