New user access permissions

[LJalaja]

Hi,

Please explain difference between groups at linux level and at sas metadata. 

What permissions were given for both the accesses?

Can we login to sas server at linux level with only added to linux and without adding to metadata?

Regards,

Logging into the SAS server at the linux level has nothing to do with SAS at all. It is simply an OS login. You can even start a SAS session on the SAS server without involving metadata.

However if you want to use SAS client tools / interfaces like SAS Enterprise Guide, SAS Management Console and SAS Studio then you have to be set up as a user in SAS metadata.

The best way to understand SAS metadata concepts is to do a SAS administrators training course and to read the administration documentation. This link is a good starting point: https://documentation.sas.com/?docsetId=bisag&docsetTarget=bisagwhatsnew94.htm&docsetVersion=9.4&loc...
