Good summary @Kurt_Bremser !
Just a quick remark, with the intention to help @Ishwarkumar and others to get a better understanding of your important message, and do not make them feel overwhelmed:
- In one hand, basically a SAS Administrator will need a good knowledge on how SAS works, and that will require cross-knowledge on both technical and functional aspects. This also means the SAS Administrator will require coordination and good communication skills, to prevent confussion between different parties.
- On many companies a SAS Administrator might get all the roles well described by @Kurt_Bremser. Sometimes even more! But also, not in all companies you would require you to have installation knowledge/experience, or other skills such as in-depth OS knoledge, since that role might be assigned to other person/team, or even to other parties, such as SAS Consulting or other companies.
Altough, all of them are a nice-to-have and surely you will need to have a basic set of knowledge to trigger the requirement of an installation, coordinate and validate the installation.
- And advise: read well in your role profile what are going to be your tasks/responsibilities and even ask until the topic is closed.
