Use the following table to determine the group memberships,
role memberships, and other criteria that enable users to perform
tasks in the Metadata Manager plug-in in SAS Management Console:
Who Can Do What in the Metadata Manager Plug-in
|
|
|
Centralized Administration
Approach
|
Delegated Administration
Approach
|
Check the access state
of the metadata server, metadata repositories, and repository manager
|
Membership in the SAS
Administrators group
|
Membership in the Management
Console: Advanced role.
|
Create, register, and
delete custom repositories
Change a repository's
properties, including the access mode, the location of users' folders,
and mapping for notes and documents
|
Membership in the SAS
Administrators group
|
Membership in the Management
Console: Advanced and Metadata Server:
Operation roles, and WriteMetadata permission on the
Root folder of the SAS Folders tree.
|
Stop, pause, or resume
the metadata server
Administer metadata
server backups
Test metadata server
alert e-mails
|
Membership in the SAS
Administrators group
|
Membership in the Management
Console: Advanced and Metadata Server:
Operation roles.
|
Continue to use all
functions of SAS Management Console when the metadata server is paused
to the Administration state
Analyze, repair, or
upgrade metadata
Initialize or unregister
a custom repository
|
Membership in the Metadata
Server: Unrestricted role
|
Add, initialize, register,
unregister, and delete a foundation repository. 2 |
Membership in the SAS
Administrators group, specification as an unrestricted user in adminUsers.txt,
and an external user ID that can be authenticated on the metadata
server host machine
|
| 1These columns list minimum
requirements. The Metadata Server: Unrestricted role
can be substituted for any of the roles and groups that are specified
here.
|
| 2Deleting or unregistering
the foundation repository makes the metadata server unusable. These
actions should be taken only in special situations.
|
As a best practice,
users who are members of the SAS Administrators group should be defined
as internal users (rather than external users) in metadata. For more
information, and to understand what role memberships and permissions
are derived from membership in this group, see
About Adding Users to the SAS Administrators Group.
