As is
true for many SAS®9 applications, the users of the SAS BI Dashboard
can be grouped based on their skills and on whether they play a role
in defining and managing the system. The following table shows the
three types of users of the SAS BI Dashboard:
|
|
|
|
|
|
The ultimate audience
of dashboards. This role views dashboards and uses them as a launching
point for further exploration and action.
|
Executives and employees
presented with dashboards as part of their intranet home page.
|
|
|
This role defines indicators
and dashboards. This role is responsible for setting user access to
various dashboards and for controlling the extent to which dashboard
users can personalize the dashboards. This role might also be responsible
for extending the functionality of the SAS BI Dashboard by creating
custom code.
|
A business manager with
some SAS technical knowledge, or a SAS consultant involved in the
initial implementation or major overhauls of the SAS BI Dashboard
who works with outside consultants and corporate developers.
|
|
|
This role installs the
SAS BI Dashboard and maintains its setup, configuration, and administration.
|
An IT person who is
responsible for supporting application deployment and maintenance
on an organization’s computer network.
