To operate SAS OLAP Servers, you
need Administer permission. Unrestricted access is not required, and
no specific role or capability is required.
For access to all aspects
of SAS Management Console other than server operation, OLAP administrators
need to be members of the role Management Console: Advanced. This
role is required to display the SAS OLAP Server Monitor under the
Monitoring node
in the
Plug-ins tab.
Users of SAS OLAP Cube
Studio need readMetadata and writeMetadata permissions.
Users of cube viewers
need Read and readMetadata permissions, but writeMetadata might not
be necessary.
Default roles are available
for association with users of SAS cube viewers. If you, as the OLAP
administrator, are a member of the role SAS Metadata Server: User
Administration, you can, as needed, add cube viewer users to the roles
Add-In for Microsoft Office: OLAP and Enterprise Guide: OLAP.
