4 User Management

Understanding Default User Groups, Users, and Roles
The User Management view displays all user groups and users. The user groups created
during the server installation are as follows:
• Administrators, with the user Administrator: Users with administrator rights. When you
first log in after the first installation, if you have not yet imported Windows Domain or
LDAP server users, the only user displayed is the user “Administrator” with
administrator rights. This user cannot be deleted, nor can the user rights be restricted in
any way.
• Everyone: All users. This group contains the master user for every user in all the other
groups. The master user in the Everyone group is the original user object. Instances of a
user in other groups are linked to the master user. By default, the group role is set to No
Access. The following illustration shows the master user for Administrator in the
Everyone group and a link to the master user in the Administrators group. The icon for
the linked user includes a link symbol.
• Imported Users: Users imported from Avid Unity, Windows Domain or LDAP (see
“Setting User Authentication Providers and Importing Users” on page 96). By default,
the group roles are set as follows:
- LDAP: No Access.
- MICROSOFT: No Access.
- UNITY: Read Access.
• Migrated Users: The group for users migrated from an Avid Unity MediaManager
environment to an Avid Interplay environment. By default, the group role is set to No
Access. For more information on migrating users from an Avid Unity MediaManager
environment to an Interplay environment, see your Avid representative.
