Question 1

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.

Answer: B

Question 2

You are assigned to configure a new caslib to ensure that analysts can load data more efficiently into memory when utilizing the SAS Viya environment. The data is currently stored in Hadoop. Which CASLIB statement will efficiently enable users to process data stored in Hadoop directly in-memory?

Options :

A : caslib myHadoopCaslib datasource=(srctype='hadoop');

B : caslib myHadoopCaslib datasource=(srctype='path');

C : caslib myHadoopCaslib datasource=(srctype='base');

D : caslib myHadoopCaslib datasource=(srctype='hdfs');

Answer: D

Question 3

An administrator needs to ensure that specific business units can only access SAS Viya content that pertains to their business unit. The organizations security policies also require that certain high-level summaries/dashboard views be accessible by all business units. Which of the following would be the best approach to meet these requirements?

Options :

A : Assign all users to a common group for base-level access and create separate groups for each business unit to control specific content access.

B : Create a folder structure reflecting the hierarchy of the business units and assign individual permissions on each folder.

C : Grant all users administrative rights to ensure they can access all necessary content and rely on user discipline to not access other business units' data.

D : Use the SAS Viya guest account feature to allow universal access to high-level summaries and use individual user accounts to limit access to specific business unit content.

Answer: A

Question 4

As an administrator, you need to integrate SAS Viya with an external identity provider (IdP) to streamline the user authentication process. Which of the following is a critical factor to consider when setting up the integration for identity propagation with the intention of allowing seamless access to multiple downstream resources?

Options :

A : Ensuring the external IdP supports OAuth 2.0 token exchange

B : Configuring the IdP to return group memberships as a SAML 2.0 attribute

C : Implementing custom password complexity rules on SAS Viya

D : Restricting user access to the SAS Environment Manager

Answer: A

Question 5

An administrator is tasked with configuring the CAS servers auto-tiering feature. In this scenario, which of the following settings should be adjusted to optimize the use of storage tiers according to data access patterns?

Options :

A : Modify the data provider configurations to prioritize certain storage mediums.

B : Set the highWaterMark and lowWaterMark parameters in the caslib definition.

C : Adjust the load-balancing policy to distribute data more evenly across all nodes.

D : Increase the replication factor of in-memory data to the maximum possible value.

Answer: B
