If a warning occurs when you configure SAS Environment Manager, the following output might be displayed when you instruct the SAS Environment Manager agent to start or restart:

This Permission denied error is caused by a permission issue with the sasevs@saspw internal account within SAS Environment Manager.

Check the Instructions.html file in the SAS-configuration-directory/Lev1/Documents/ directory on the middle tier for any additional steps required for the SAS Environment Manager configuration. The steps listed in this file might include verifying that the sasevs@saspw account exists within the SAS Environment Manager web console and verifying that the SAS App Tier Role is assigned to sasevs@saspw.
