Overview of Managing Data Tables, Users, Groups, and Roles in SAS Management Console

SAS Management Console is the primary tool that is available to administer the SAS Metadata Repository. SAS Management Console is a framework that provides a variety of plug-ins that expand the capability of SAS Management Console. Only certain users can view and use plug-ins. A user’s access to plug-ins depends on which roles the user is assigned to and which capabilities are assigned to those roles. SAS Model Manager makes extensive use of the SAS Metadata Repository. Therefore, SAS Management Console is used to perform a number of administrative tasks. Some of those tasks include managing users, groups, roles, and data tables. For information about other administrative tasks such as creating users, groups, roles, and channels, see Setting Up SAS Management Console for Use.
