Adding Groups

Overview

By default, Data Controller will work with the SAS Groups defined in metadata or Viya. It is also possible to define custom groups with Data Controller itself - to do this simply add the user and group name (and optionally, a group description) in the DATACTRL.MPE_GROUPS table.

Data Controller Admin Group

When configuring Data Controller for the first time, a group is designated as the 'admin' group. This group has unrestricted access to Data Controller. To change this group, modify the %let dc_admin_group= entry in the settings program. To prevent others from changing this group, ensure the containing folder is write-protected!
