Administering and maintaining the K2 SAN
Passwords and security on Grass Valley systems
To provide a basic level of security, Grass Valley systems recognize three different security levels
based on Windows users and groups, and the systems ship from the factory with accounts
pre-congured accordingly. To access the system you must log on with the user name and password
for one of the pre-congured accounts.
The following table shows the different types of users and their privileges. Passwords are case
sensitive.

Operating System
AppCenter also provides security features for restricting access to channels and media in bins. These
features are also based on Windows users and groups. By default these features are congured to
grant full access to everyone.
To support legacy FTP and security features, K2 systems also have movie, mxfmovie, mpgmovie,
and video_fs accounts. Do not use these accounts to log in to the Windows operating system on K2
systems.
