Open SAS Management Console

SAS Management Console is the primary interface for managing groups, roles, folders, and permissions for your SAS applications. To open SAS Management Console:
  1. Make sure that your computer’s operating environment supports SAS Management Console. See SAS Management Console System Requirements.
  2. Determine the host name for the servers in your SAS Cloud environment:
    1. In the My Applications section of the SAS App Central Home page, open a web-based SAS application (for example, SAS vApp Ledger).
      The application appears in a new tab in your browser. The address bar for the tab contains a URL in the following format:
      https://host-name/application-name/
    2. Make a note of the host name, which is generally in the form name1.name2.sas.com. You will need this name in a later step.
  3. In the My Applications section of the SAS App Central Home page, click the SAS Management Console icon.
    A copy of the SAS Management Console executable (SASManagementConsole.exe) is downloaded to your desktop.
  4. Click Run or Open to run the executable; or save the executable, and then run it from its saved location.
    The following window appears:
    Proxy window box for SAS Management Console
  5. In this window, do the following:
    1. Select the check box I need to proxy my access to SAS servers .
    2. In the Target System URL field, enter or paste the host name that you obtained in step 1. Enter it directly after the characters http://.
      Tip
      The correct protocol is http. Do not change it to https.
    3. Click Launch SAS Mgmt Console.
      The Connection Profile window appears:
      Connect Profile window
    4. Click OK to connect to the environment’s SAS Metadata Server.
      The SAS Management Console application opens.
Note: If the connection fails, you might need to create a new connection profile. See Create a Connection Profile.
