Table of Procedure Tasks
| Statement | Task | Example |
|---|---|---|
| PROC AUTHLIB Statement | Create and manage metadata-bound libraries | |
| CREATE Statement | Create the secured library object in the SAS Metadata Server and record the physical security information in the directory or bound files | Ex. 1, Ex. 2, Ex. 3, Ex. 4 |
| MODIFY Statement | Modify password values for a metadata-bound library | Ex. 5, Ex. 6 |
| REMOVE Statement | Remove the physical security information and metadata objects that protect a metadata-bound library | Ex. 7 |
| (Preproduction) REPAIR Statement | Recover security information (in physical data) or secured library and table objects (in metadata) | |
| REPORT Statement | For a specified metadata-bound library, compare physical library contents with corresponding metadata objects (in order to identify any inconsistencies). | Ex. 8 |
| TABLES Statement | Specify which tables within a specified metadata-bound library are affected by certain AUTHLIB statements | Ex. 4, Ex. 9 |
