Users who are assigned
to the data administrator role can upload data to the SAS Cloud. For
applications that are packaged as vApps (for example, SAS Visual Analytics),
data administrators can use SAS vApp Data Manager for this task. In
some cases, data administrators can use a Secure File Transfer Protocol
(SFTP) client to upload data.
The data that you upload
is stored in a secured location on the SAS Cloud that belongs exclusively
to your account. If you have more than one SAS environment, each environment
has its own separate storage area. An environment’s data can
be accessed only by users that your account administrator has added
to that environment. The type of access depends on the user’s
role assignment:
-
Users in the data administrator
role can upload data to and download data from the environment’s
SAS Cloud storage area.
-
Users in the SAS administrator
and SAS user roles can access data only through SAS applications in
the environment. The level of access is controlled by permissions
and role assignments in SAS metadata.
Tip
Some applications might require
additional data loading procedures. For more information, see the
relevant SAS documentation.
