“IMPORTANT NOTE: You should NEVER use an Unrestricted User (the "unrestricted user" account; for example, the sasadm ID with a "*" prefix in the adminUsers.txt) to log on to any client application except SAS® Management Console. The "unrestricted user" account is intended to be used ONLY as a metadata administrative account for SAS Management Console. Users wilth "unrestricted user" status can access all metadata on the server (except for passwords, which an unrestricted user can overwrite but cannot read). When the "unrestricted user" account is inappropriately used from a client application other than SAS Management Console, there is no way to predict which log-on credentials will be used in an attempt to start the workspace server, and that particular Login object will be deleted.”
