   • write PDB-specific data to downloadable file
     
     
   • maintain the PDB's data dictionary from the master data dictionary.
     
     
2. SITELIB Administration

   • create/edit site-specific report definitions.
     
     
3. PGMLIB Administration

   Read/write required: PGMLIB

   Read only OK:

   Note: These do not require read access to PDB or SITELIB:

   • initial install of IT Service Vision
     
     
   • install of IT Service Vision updates (maintenance and release)
     
     
   • install of table definitions from the PDB's data dictionary to the master data dictionary.
     
     

Logon host: the host on which the PDB of interest is accessible by means of the local filesystem
License: the logon host must have a client license and/or server license (data visualization and DeskTop Reporter require at least a client license)

or

Logon host: the host on which the PDB of interest is accessible by means of a remote server
License: the logon host must have a client license (and may also have a server license, though that is not required for these tasks)

1. General User: Use PDB-specific and site-specific reports, data, and report definitions

   Read/write required: -NONE-

   Read only OK: PDB and SITELIB and PGMLIB

   • display and perhaps print PDB-specific and site-specific graph and text reports by using the interactive interface
     
     
   • perform data visualization
     
     
   • run supplied and PDB-specific and site-specific report definitions, and display and perhaps print graph and text reports by means of the interactive interface.
     
     
   • put PDB-specific graph or text reports onto a web

   Note: These do not require read access to PDB or SITELIB or PGMLIB:

   • browse PDB-specific and site-specific graph and text reports by using a web browser (this does require read access to the web-enabled reports)
     
     
   • drill down in PDB-specific and site-specific data by using the DeskTop Reporter
     (this does require read access to the SAS library that contains data from the PDB)
     
2. Power User: Modify/Create user-specific report definitions

   Read/write required:

   Read-only OK: PDB and SITELIB and PGMLIB

   • display and perhaps print tables, variables, and statistics
     
     
   • modify and run supplied and PDB-specific and site-specific report definitions, and display and perhaps print graph and text reports by means of the interactive interface
     
     
   • create and run user-specific definitions, and display and perhaps print graph and text reports in the interactive interface
     
     
   • modify (but not save)/use PDB-specific and site-specific formats
     
     
   • save/edit report definitions in SASUSER
     
     
   • save graph and text reports in SASUSER
     
     
   • create/save user-specific formats in SASUSER.

   Note: Read/write access to SASUSER is assumed in all cases, other than batch operations on MVS (where it is optional).
