Default Roles
MediaCentral UX includes the following default roles.
The Media | Distribute installation and configuration process creates additional roles. For more
information, see the Media | Distribute Installation and Configuration Guide.
An administrator can change the layouts for a role. See
“Creating and Deleting Roles” on

MediaCentral | UX Client Licensing
MediaCentral UX requires a user to be assigned one of the following licenses:
• Base License: Can connect to only one system during a session: iNEWS, Interplay MAM, or
Interplay Production.
• Advance License: Can connect to any or all systems during a session: iNEWS, Interplay
MAM, and Interplay Production.
Beginning with MediaCentral UX v2.1, there is no restriction on the features and functionality of
the product as a result of the type of license. This situation applies to both the Web application
and the mobile applications. Note, however, that if a user has access to only one system, layouts
and panes specific to another system might be available but will not be functional.

Earlier versions of MediaCentral UX used a different way of assigning licenses. Beginning with
Interplay Central v1.5, you need to reassign licenses based on roles.
Running MediaCentral | UX and Interplay Production Concurrently
A client workstation can use a single license to run MediaCentral UX and Interplay Production
client applications concurrently. For example, a user can run both MediaCentral UX and
Interplay | Access while using a single MediaCentral UX license. For more information, see the
Interplay | Engine and Interplay | Archive Engine Configuration Guide.
