You use
SAS Management Console to set up users, groups, and roles
to define which actions a user can perform when using SAS Model Manager.
For information about
setting up a user, group, or role, see Configuring Users, Groups, and Roles. In order
to make access distinctions and track user activity, security systems
must know who is making each request. The primary purpose of user
administration is to provide information that helps systems make this
determination. The SAS environment requires one external account ID
for each user. The SAS environment then uses its copy of these IDs
to establish a unique SAS metadata identity for each connecting user.
All of a user's group memberships, role memberships, and permission
assignments are ultimately tied to their SAS metadata identity.
To access
user administration features in SAS Management Console, select the
User Manager node on the
Plug-ins tab. Your roles and permissions determine which user administration
tasks you can perform.
Note: The
User Manager node is the only location from which you
can manage identities.
For more
information, see the SAS Management Console Help or the
SAS Intelligence Platform: System Administration Guide.
