Web Parts are an integrated
set of controls that enable you to provide customized, dynamic content
on your website. By using Microsoft Windows SharePoint Server, you
can add SAS content directly to your website.
When you open a web
page that contains SAS content, one of these scenarios occurs:
-
The SAS Central Web Part displays
an up-to-date report or prompts you to specify values for the report.
Prompts are often used in stored processes because prompts enable
the site visitor to select what content to include in the report.
For example, a sales manager in the East can generate a report of
sales data for the East region, and a sales manager in the South can
generate a report of sales data for the South region.
-
The SAS Central Viewer Web Part
appears, and you can access reports that were created by using SAS
Visual Analytics.
When you use a SAS Web
Part, caching is performed by SAS rather than Microsoft SharePoint.
SharePoint determines whether you have permission to open a given
site or page. The user name that you used in Microsoft SharePoint
is passed to SAS. The SAS Metadata Server uses that user name for
security and permission checks. If SAS cannot authenticate you, then
you can view the SharePoint site, but you cannot view the SAS content.
