This chapter addresses
user administration in the metadata layer, which is provided by the
SAS Metadata Server.
The SAS Environment
Manager Users module supports some of the user administration tasks
that are provided by the User Manager plug-in to SAS Management Console,
including the following:
-
creation and maintenance of users,
groups, and roles
-
management of group and role memberships
-
management of logins and internal
accounts
-
assignment of capabilities to roles
In addition, this application
provides the following enhanced user administration features, including
the following:
-
When memberships are displayed,
all memberships are shown, including indirect and implicit relationships.
-
For each role, capability origins
information explains how that role gets each of its capabilities (directly
and from contributing roles).
Note: This application provides
improved access to information. It does not introduce any changes
to the underlying security model.
Many of the general
features of SAS Environment Manager are useful in user administration.
For example, you can open multiple objects. Each object is displayed
in its own page.
Note: Changes that you make to
one object are not reflected in other open objects until those changes
are saved.
