Create SAS Users and Groups

The following tasks related to SAS users and groups need to be performed. For more information, see the SAS Visual Analytics: Administration Guide.
  • Create operating system groups and user accounts for data administrators on the machines in the cluster.
  • Create SAS metadata users for the operating system accounts for data administrators and add these users to the Visual Analytics Data Administrators group.
    (Membership in the Visual Analytics Data Administrators group grants metadata users explicit permission to use a default library for the distributed database.)
  • Create groups and users in SAS metadata for SAS Visual Analytics Explorer, SAS Visual Analytics Designer, and the mobile viewers.
For more information, see Roles and Capabilities in SAS Visual Analytics: Administration Guide.
