SAS
Management Console is the primary administrative interface for the
SAS Intelligence Platform. Use it to manage servers, libraries, security,
metadata objects, roles, logs, backup and recovery, scheduling, and
message queues.
Because of its powerful
capabilities, you should limit the number of clients that receive
SAS Management Console. Grant administrative permissions only to trusted
and experienced individuals. Also consider the use of roles to prevent
users from seeing plug-ins that do not apply to their jobs. For example,
a user can be given a role that displays the Library Manager without
displaying the Server Manager or the User Manager.
SAS Management Console
is structured as a series of Java plug-ins, each of which provide
a specific administrative function. A number of plug-ins are delivered
to all customers, such as the Server Manager plug-in. Other plug-ins
are delivered based on your site license, such as the administrative
plug-in for SAS Enterprise Miner.
