As is
true for many SAS®9 applications, the users of the SAS BI Dashboard
can be grouped based on their skills and on whether they play a role
in defining and managing the system. The following table shows the
three types of users of the SAS BI Dashboard:
|
|
|
|
|
|
The ultimate
audience of dashboards. This role views dashboards and uses them as
a launching point for further exploration and action.
|
Executives and
employees presented with dashboards as part of their intranet home
page.
|
|
|
This role defines
indicators and dashboards. This role is responsible for setting user
access to various dashboards and for controlling the extent to which
dashboard users can personalize the dashboards. This role might also
be responsible for extending the functionality of the SAS BI Dashboard
by creating custom code.
|
A business manager
with some SAS technical knowledge, or a SAS consultant involved in
the initial implementation or major overhauls of the SAS BI Dashboard
who works with outside consultants and corporate developers.

This role installs
the SAS BI Dashboard and maintains its setup, configuration, and administration.

An IT person
