About Groups and Permissions
To be able to use Final Cut Server, you must add at least one group with at least one
user. In most cases, you will create several groups, each configured with different
permissions, and then add the appropriate users to each group. The actual creation of
the groups and users is done using either the Accounts pane of System Preferences or
Mac OS X Server Workgroup Manager. In Final Cut Server, you choose the groups to use
and assign a permission set to each of the groups.
See Chapter 4, “ Adding Users and Groups ,” on page 47 for details on using the
Accounts pane of System Preferences, Mac OS X Server Workgroup Manager, and using
Final Cut Server System Preferences to add groups and assign permission sets to them.
This chapter covers adding groups and assigning permission sets using the
Final Cut Server client’s Administration window. It also covers creating custom
permission sets, allowing you to exactly define each group’s access to the
Final Cut Server catalog.
Adding Groups to Final Cut Server
Once you have finished setting up your groups with Workgroup Manager, you are
ready to add the groups to Final Cut Server.
You can add the groups using the server’s Final Cut Server System Preferences or you
can use the client’s Administration window. See “
Adding Groups to Final Cut Server ” on
page 56 for information on using Final Cut Server System Preferences to add groups to
Final Cut Server and assigning permission sets to them.
