An application that is accessed by multiple users is useless without a proper system administration module. The existence of this module ensures that things are under control and secured. It also includes upkeep, configuration, and reliable operation of the application. This module is usually assigned to a person, who is called the system administrator and whose responsibility is to watch uptime, performance, resources, and security of the application. Being a multiuser application, SAP Analytics Cloud also comes with this vital module that allows a system administrator to take care of the following segments:
- Creating users and setting their passwords
- Importing users from another data source
- Exporting user's profiles for other apps
- Deleting unwanted user accounts from the system
- Creating roles and assigning them to users
- Setting permissions for roles
- Forming teams
- Setting security for models
- Monitoring users activities
- Monitoring data changes
- Monitoring system performance
- System deployment via export and import
Refer to Chapter 10, System Administration, where all these topics are covered in detail.
