Use deployments to organize CBSDs

Administrators can assign permissions to users to restrict visibility to a subset of their Spectrum Access System (SAS) customer accounts. Use the deployments list to create deployments and assign user permissions to existing deployments and customer accounts.

Find the CBSDs in a single deployment

To find the CBSDs in a single deployment, follow these steps:

1. Go to the SAS Portal.
2. Click View deployments.
3. Optional: If you have access to multiple deployments, select a deployment from the Deployments list.
4. Click Open.

Find the CBSDs from a multiple deployment

To find the CBSDs from a multiple deployment, follow these steps:

1. Go to the SAS Portal.
2. Click View deployments.

3. Select your customer account or node.

   Important: If you've already created nodes within your customer account, the node hierarchy appears after your customer account on the left.

4. To view CBSDs from all deployments that exist under the selected customer account or node, click Open.

   Important: When you view multiple deployments, you can't create a new CBSD. To create a CBSD, open the deployment that contains the user ID that the CBSD uses to register with SAS.

Create a deployment

Only administrators of a customer account or node can create deployments. To create a deployment, follow these steps:

1. Go to the SAS Portal.
2. Click View deployments.
3. Select your customer account or node from the Deployments list. The new deployment is created under your selected customer account or node.
4. On the left, click New deployment.
5. On the right, name the deployment and assign a unique user ID.
6. Click Create.

Create CBSD configurations in a deployment

To create a CBSD configuration in a deployment, which is the lowest branch of the organizational hierarchy, follow these steps:

1. Go to the SAS Portal.
2. Click View deployments.
3. Optional: If you have access to multiple deployments, select a deployment from the Deployments list.
4. Click Open.
5. Click Table view.
6. Click Create CBSD.

Tip: The user ID field automatically populates with the deployment ID of the selected deployment. You can also use the import function to add multiple CBSD configurations at the same time.

Manage users in a deployment

Administrators can add or remove users at the level of customer account, node, or deployment. Users added at the customer account or node level keep the same permissions for all nodes and deployments under that level. Learn about user roles.

1. Go to the SAS Portal.
2. Click View deployments.
   • If you have access to a single deployment, to access User management, click Settings.
   • If you have access to multiple customer accounts, nodes, or deployments, make sure that you select the specific group where users must be added or removed.
3. On the right, click Unlock deployment settings.
4. In the User management section, do the following:
   • Add a user.
   • Remove a user.
   • Edit a user: Follow the steps to add a user. When you give them a new role, you can remove them from their old role.
5. To prevent further changes, click Lock deployment settings.
