Configuring SAS Environment Manager: the Manage Page

Overview

Use the pages under Manage to control how the SAS Environment Manager application operates.

Authentication/Authorization

The Authentication/Authorization area enables you to manage SAS Environment Manager users and user roles. These users and roles are not the same as the users and roles in SAS metadata that control access to SAS metadata objects, although SAS Environment Manager users are synchronized with users that are defined in metadata and added to specific groups.
In order to distinguish between the SAS Environment Manager access features and those in SAS metadata, this document and the SAS Environment Manager online Help refers to features internal to SAS Environment Manager as native features (such as native users or native roles). However, the SAS Environment Manager interface does not use the native terminology.

Server Settings

The Server Settings area enables you to change the settings for the SAS Environment Manager server, the defaults for monitoring, the configuration of escalation schemes, and the SAS Environment Manager plugins.
Server Settings
contains settings for the SAS Environment Manager server, including global alert properties, email configuration, and notification properties
Monitoring Defaults
contains default monitoring and alerting definitions for all types of platforms, platform services, and servers supported by SAS Environment Manager.
Escalation Schemes Configuration
enables you to define notification or logging actions that are taken for alerts.
Plugin Manager

Always save a copy before deleting or updating a plugin.
