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