Choose to Use SAS Internal Accounts
Beginning in SAS 9.2,
fewer operating system accounts (external accounts) are required to
deploy SAS than were needed in SAS 9.1.3. In SAS 9.2 and SAS 9.3,
you no longer have to maintain external headless accounts for the
SAS Unrestricted Administrator (sasadm) and the SAS Trusted User (sastrust),
though it is possible to continue to use the external accounts if
you prefer.
If you have used external
accounts in your current deployment, SAS gives you the option of using
internal accounts for these two users when you migrate. If you decide
to use internal accounts, during the SAS Deployment Wizard phase of
your migration, be sure to select the option Use SAS internal
accounts when appropriate on the Deployment
Accounts wizard page. (This wizard option is described
in Deployment Accounts: Type of Accounts.)

see Internal User Accounts in SAS Intelligence Platform: Installation and Configuration Guide.
