Identifying a User
To identify a user for the project, you can either create and identify a
new user or select one from a list of existing users. This user name rep-
resents the user profile, which includes the settings associated with
that user. New users begin with default user settings. When you
customize the user settings in the Avid application, these customized
settings are associated with the user name.
The Avid Users folder is the default location for user profile files.
Setting Up a New User
To create a new user profile:
1. Click the New User button.
The New User dialog box appears.
2. Type your name and click OK.

If you plan to move bins and projects from one platform to another, do not use
the characters / \ : * ? “ < > |when naming projects, bins, and users. You can
set the Use Windows® compatible File Names option in the Avid applica-
tion’s General Settings dialog box to prevent the system from accepting these
restricted characters in a bin, project, or user name.
The Open Project dialog box reappears with your user name high-
lighted in the list of users.
