SAS Model Manager User Groups, Roles, and Tasks :: SAS(R) Model Manager 3.1: User's Guide

SAS Model Manager Groups

When you work in SAS Model Manager, the SAS Model Manager administrator assigns your user ID to one of three SAS Model Manager groups: Model Manager Administrators, Model Manager Advanced Users, and Model Manager Users. Groups can perform certain tasks within SAS Model Manager. For example, users in the Model Manager Administrator group are the only users who can freeze a version.

Users in the Model Manager Administrator group can perform any task with SAS Model Manager. The Model Manager Advanced Users and Model Manager Users groups are more restrictive. See the tables in the subsequent sections for a list of SAS Model Manager tasks and the groups whose users can perform the task.

A SAS Model Manager administrator can create custom groups for your organization as well as assign SAS Model Manager roles to those groups. Contact your SAS Model Manager administrator to find out your group and roles.

The following table lists the abbreviations for groups that are used in the task tables below:

SAS Model Manager Group	Abbreviation
Model Manager Administrator Users	MM Admin
Model Manager Advanced Users	MM Adv User
Model Manager Users	MM User

SAS Model Manager has two other groups, Model Manager Example Life Cycle Assignees and Model Manager Example Life Cycle Approvers. These groups are used in the life cycle templates that are provided by SAS Model Manager for example purposes only. The life cycle templates and groups supplied by SAS should not be modified.

SAS Model Manager Roles

The SAS Model Manager roles enable specific users or groups to be assigned to complete specific tasks within SAS Model Manager. In most cases, roles are assigned to groups. Three of the roles are general and correspond to the groups that are supplied by SAS Model Manager. Roles that are associated with the life cycle enable users and groups to be assigned to complete tasks or approve that tasks are complete.

The following table describes the roles and lists the role abbreviations that are used in the list of tasks:
