If you
have user administration capabilities, you can temporarily add an
internal account to another user's definition. This enables you to
log on as that user, which can be useful for validating changes or
troubleshooting problems.
-
On the
users's
Accounts tab, click
Create
Internal Account and then enter and confirm a password.
Note: By initial
policy, internal passwords must be at least six characters, don't
have to include mixed case or numbers, and don't expire.
Tip
To ensure that
you won't have to change the password on first use, set the account
password to never expire.
-
Use the
internal account ID and password to log on to a SAS application and
see what access and features the user has.
Note: Because you
aren't using the user's external account ID, this technique won't
reproduce a problem that is caused by the user not having a well-formed
definition.
Note: You can't use
an internal account to log on to a Web application that uses Web authentication.
-
When you
are finished, return to the user's
Accounts tab and click
Delete to remove the internal
account.
