Administering SAS Enterprise Guide

Default Roles and Capabilities for SAS Enterprise Guide

As described in the SAS Intelligence Platform: Security Administration Guide, you can assign users to roles to provide access to selected capabilities in the SAS Enterprise Guide.

Using SAS Management Console, as described in Administering Roles, you can assign users to roles, change the capabilities that are enabled by each role, and create new roles with unique sets of capabilities. You can also register new capabilities for custom tasks.

SAS Enterprise Guide provides four default roles named OLAP, Advanced, Analysis, and Programming. The following table defines the capabilities that are assigned by default to the four roles.
