# Adding Libraries to Data Controller
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The process for adding new libraries to Data Controller depends on whether we are talking about:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* The VIEW or EDIT menu
|
||
|
|
* Which flavour of SAS is being used
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
In VIEW mode, all available libraries are shown, unless the [DC_RESTRICT_VIEWER](/dcc-options/#dc_restrict_viewer) option is set.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
In EDIT mode, only the libraries corresponding to the configuration in [MPE_TABLES](/dcc-tables) are visible. This list may be shorter if the user is not in the [admin group](/dcc-groups/#data-controller-admin-group) or does not have the necessary [security](/dcc-security/) settings.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Flavour specific guidance is below.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Viya Libraries
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Library definitions should be added in the `autoexec.sas` of the configured Compute Context using Environment Manager.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## SAS 9 EBI Libraries
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Library definitions can be added in the `[DC Meta Path]/services/public/Data_Controller_Settings` stored process, IF required. In most cases, libname statements are NOT required because they are taken from metadata.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For the VIEW menu, the libname statement is made using the [mm_assignlib](https://core.sasjs.io/mm__assignlib_8sas.html) macro (META engine). It is important that each library has a unique (up to 8 char) LIBREF.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For the EDIT menu, direct libname statements are derived using the [mm_assigndirectlib](https://core.sasjs.io/mm__assigndirectlib_8sas.html) macro.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## SASjs Server Libraries
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
New library definitions can be added in the `[DC Drive Path]/services/public/settings.sas` stored program.
