Problem Note 62877: Using Model Studio gives permission errors when a user ID is a member of the CASHostAccountRequired group
 |  |  |  |  |
In SAS® Viya®, CAS processes should be performed using the shared 'cas' operating system account. However, when a user ID is a member of the CASHostAccountRequired group, the processes are performed using that user ID's operating system account. As a result, permission problems can occur within multiple Model Studio applications. You might be unable to create or work with SAS® Visual Data Mining and Machine Learning, SAS® Visual Text Analytics, or SAS® Visual Forecasting projects.
