Getting Started with Administration Tasks

As an account administrator for your organization, you are responsible for several quick and easy administrative tasks. Here is a suggested sequence of tasks to get you started:
  1. Log on to the SAS Cloud by following the instructions in your invitation email.
  2. Explore SAS App Central, which appears in your browser when you first log on.
  3. Try out your SAS applications. Access them on the Home page of SAS App Central, under the My Applications section. The applications that you can access depend on which roles you are assigned to.
  4. Add users to your SAS Cloud account. You specify users’ email addresses, assign users to administrative roles, and specify the SAS environments that each user is allowed to access. For details, see Managing Users.
    When you first add users to your account, they have the status of Onboarding. Each new user receives an invitation email with logon instructions. The user’s status changes to Active after that user logs on for the first time.
  5. Upload data to the SAS Cloud. The data is stored in a secured location that is associated with a particular SAS environment within your SAS Cloud account.
  6. Administer your SAS applications. You might need to set up user groups, assign application roles to users, create folders to manage SAS content, and assign user permissions to content. See Administering SAS: The Basics.
    Additional administration tasks might be required, depending on which SAS applications you have licensed. For details, see the relevant SAS documentation.
