Administering Roles and Capabilities

When users are assigned to roles, they gain access to certain capabilities in certain applications. Roles are implemented in the following desktop applications:

SAS Management Console: See Administering Roles.
SAS Enterprise Guide: See Default Roles and Capabilities for SAS Enterprise Guide and Registering Custom Tasks as Capabilities in SAS Enterprise Guide.
SAS Add-In for Microsoft Office: See Default Roles and Capabilities for the SAS Add-In for Microsoft Office and Registering Custom Tasks as Capabilities in the SAS Add-In for Microsoft Office.

Roles and capabilities are also implemented in SAS Web Report Studio, as described in the SAS Intelligence Platform: Web Application Administration Guide.

Roles are added, deleted, and changed in the User Manager in SAS Management Console.

For more information about roles and capabilities, see the SAS Intelligence Platform: Security Administration Guide.
