You use SAS Management
Console to set up users, groups, and roles to define which actions
a user can perform when using SAS Model Manager.
For information
about setting up a user, group, or role, see Configuring Users, Groups, and Roles. In order to make access
distinctions and track user activity, security systems must know who
is making each request. The primary purpose of user administration
is to provide information that helps systems make this determination.
The SAS environment requires one external account ID for each user.
The SAS environment then uses its copy of these IDs to establish a
unique SAS metadata identity for each connecting user. All of a user's
group memberships, role memberships, and permission assignments are
ultimately tied to their SAS metadata identity.
To access user administration
features in SAS Management Console, select the
User Manager node
on the
Plug-ins tab. Your roles and permissions
determine which user administration tasks you can perform.
Note: The
User Manager node
is the only location from which you can manage identities.
