Accessing SAS Visual Analytics

SAS Visual Analytics uses the standard sign-in window for SAS applications. To display the sign-in window, use the URL that is supplied by your system administrator. For example, you might enter: http://host/SASVisualAnalyticsHub

Click Sign Out in the upper right corner of the user interface to sign out of SAS Visual Analytics. When you click Sign Out, you are signed out of all SAS web applications. For example, suppose that you have the home page, the explorer, and the designer open, and then you click Sign Out when you finish working on a report in the designer. In this case, you have also signed out of the home page and the explorer.

SAS Visual Analytics system administrators can configure support for guest access. Users with guest access can access only the SAS Visual Analytics home page and the viewer. Guest access uses a shared account, so it does not provide individualized features, such as history or alerts. If provided by the system administrator, favorites and preferences are read-only features. If guest access is configured, it is available at a special URL such as http://host/SASVisualAnalyticsHub/guest.jsp

Accessing SAS Visual Analytics as a guest is useful if you do not have a metadata identity. This enables you to view reports that are widely available under a generic, shared account. You can also view reports that are available to the public on the Internet.
