As a pre-installation
task, you must designate or create a domain account that will act
as the SAS Installer. This account will require administrative operating
system privileges on each machine that hosts the SAS Enterprise Miner
server, a SAS Workspace server, or SAS Enterprise Miner project files.
On a Windows system, this account also requires the permissions
log
on as a batch job and
Access this computer
from the network. The first permits the user to be logged
on by means of a batch-queue. You can configure this security setting
by opening the appropriate policy and adding each account. Generally,
it is recommended that you create a user group, and give the group
the
Log on as a batch job, and, if necessary,
the
Access this computer from the network permission.
Then, add each account to that group. For UNIX, the SAS Installer
account should not be the root account.
The
Access
this computer from the network privilege is also required
in order to connect to SAS servers. Typically, this right is already
granted to the Windows group Everyone. To confirm, check the Windows
local policy settings.
The SAS Enterprise Miner
server uses both regular user accounts and product administrative
user accounts. You can create regular user accounts for the SAS Enterprise
Miner as a post-installation task. For more information, see
Define Additional Enterprise Miner Users in Chapter 7.
Note that a product
administrator account is not the same as a SAS internal administrator
account, such as the SAS Administrator (sasadm@saspw).
