Features in User Administration

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
In addition, this application provides enhanced user administration features. For example, when memberships are displayed, all memberships are shown, including indirect and implicit relationships.
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 tab.
Note: Changes that you make to one object are not reflected in other open objects until those changes are saved.
