What Is Enterprise Guide Administrator?

Enterprise Guide Administrator is a Windows application for network and PC administrators that serves as a central resource manager for Enterprise Client applications. With Enterprise Guide Administrator, you can provide Enterprise Client users with transparent access to their data. In other words, you can enable users to access their data without their having to remember the exact locations of the data. Enterprise Clients provide an easy-to-use Windows interface to a SAS System session that is running either locally or on a remote machine. For more information about Enterprise Clients, see "What Are Enterprise Clients?" on page 2.

With Enterprise Guide Administrator you can

3 identify SAS servers on multiple platforms 3 set up virtual folders with shortcuts to multiplatform data 3 set up groups of users to provide high-security access to resources, or bypass

groups to provide low-security access.

For example, you could add a SAS server that runs on UNIX, specify which users have access to the server, and set up SAS libraries on that server. The specified users could then access the libraries from their Enterprise Client applications.

Enterprise Guide Administrator runs on Windows NT, Windows 95, and Windows 98, and has an easy-to-use interface that is like Windows Explorer. You do not need to install SAS on your local machine to run Enterprise Guide Administrator.
