About the Administration Workspace

Administration Workspace Tasks

The IT Resource Management administrator has access to all locations of the SAS Content Server. On the Administration workspace, an administrator can perform the following tasks:

View folders and reports that are stored in the SAS Content Server.
Create SAS Content Server locations for reports.
Assign SAS Content Server locations for access by groups that are members in the IT Resource Management: User role and the IT Resource Management: Report Center Group role.

SAS Content Server locations can also be shared with users who are Authenticated SASUsers (as denoted by ITRM Report Center Viewers [SASUSERS]) groups.
Purge reports from the SAS Content Server.
Refresh the cache of the SAS Content Server.

Note: If a new group is created but is not yet assigned with a SAS Content Server location, a user from that group can still access to reports in the SAS Content Server locations that are available to the IT Report Center Viewers (SASUSERS) group.

For more information, see the “Administrative Tasks” chapter in the SAS IT Resource Management 3.4: Reporting Guide.

Note: Members of the IT Resource Management Administrators group have access to this and all other Report Center workspaces. SAS administrators (members of the Metadata Server: Unrestricted role) can access only the ITRM Report Center Administration workspace. They cannot access the other workspaces of ITRM Report Center.

Working with Multiple SAS Content Server Locations

By default, SAS IT Resource Management reports are written to <Middle-Tier-Server-Name>/SASContentServer/repository/default/sasdav/ITRM. All users of ITRM Report Center have access to this location.

Your site might want to create multiple locations to which IT Resource Management reports are written. Creating multiple locations enables you to control access to those reports by using SAS metadata-based application groups. To assign a group to a SAS Content Server location, that group must be a member of the IT Resource Management: Report Center Group role.

For more detailed information about how to create and assign access to SAS Content Server locations that are used by SAS IT Resource Management, see the “Administrative Tasks” chapter in the SAS IT Resource Management 3.4: Reporting Guide.

If a user requires access to multiple SAS Content Server locations, then that user must be a member of the IT Resource Management User groups to which those SAS Content Server locations are assigned for access.
