Add Users

To create an individual SAS identity:

On the Plug-ins tab, select User Manager.
For each user:
1. Right-click and select NewUser.
2. On the General tab, enter a name.
  
  Tip
  We recommend that you avoid using spaces or special characters in the name of a user, group, or role that you create. Not all components support spaces and special characters in identity names.
3. On the Accounts tab, click New. In the New Login dialog box, select the appropriate authentication domain (for example, DefaultAuth ) and enter the user's external account ID. It is not necessary to include a password in this login.
  
  Note: If the user ID is for a Windows account, you must qualify the ID (for example, WIN\user or user@mycompany.com).
4. Click OK to save the new login. Click OK again to save the new user.
(Optional) Use the Groups and Roles tab to make a user a direct member of another group or a role.

Note: The user automatically belongs to PUBLIC (everyone who can access the environment) and SASUSERS (those members of PUBLIC who have a well-formed user definition).

Note: You do not have to make changes on the user's Authorization tab. This tab has no effect on what the user can do.
