Question:
We need to collect user activity some information and turn them as a report in SAS. We are expecting report such as when a user connect to sas dataset, name of the table user accessed and changes made to the user on that table?
Answer:
SAS by default provides several ways to audit the access to its components. This question in about SAS Dataset components (ie) access to the data.
This requirement is more popular as SAS are widely used in banking, clinical where the data access needs to be audited.
To achieve the report that you are looking for you can check SAS Logging Facility. There are several options which you can enable in the Workspace server or any other SAS servers. This options will allow you to customise the way you want.
Genrally, a good option is that if you have middle tier in your deployments, is to enable the EMI framework and then set up the Audit Performance and Measurement (APM) tools (optionally, also ARM for performance monitoring, and VAfeed, to load the data into your VA or VAAR web application).

At last, I would say that one of the best options is to purchase and configure the SAS Federation Server, which allows you to monitor and audit every single action on the data, plus you can control the authorisations (and row-level security) and the way users access the data (anonymity, encryption, masking, etc)
If you are looking for more tailor made solution it is best to contact SAS representative.
