The SAS Folders tab contains the following elements:

My Folder

contains items such as folders and orchestration jobs that the user who is currently logged on has created. These items are accessible to the current user only.

Products

contains folders for individual SAS products. These folders contain content that is installed along with the product. For example, some products have a set of initial jobs, transformations, stored processes, or reports which users can modify for their own purposes. Other products include sample content (for example, sample stored processes) to demonstrate product capabilities.

Shared Data

is provided for you to store user-created content that is shared among multiple users. Under this folder, you can create any number of subfolders, each with the appropriate permissions, to further organize this content.

System

contains SAS system objects that are not directly accessed by business users.

User Folders

contains folders that belong to individual users. These folders are referred to as the users' home folders. These folders are accessible only to administrators and this user.
