About the Production Metadata Sets
The primary difference between the customer profiles is the production metadata sets
they offer. All other aspects, such as devices, automations, permission sets, and the
asset metadata sets are identical.
There are six possible production metadata sets that the installer can create. Each
production metadata set is made up of one or more metadata groups. All of the
metadata groups are installed on all Final Cut Server systems, regardless of which
customer profile you choose. This means that you can easily create any of these
production sets and add the appropriate metadata groups to them. Additionally, you
can create your own custom production metadata sets and groups as needed. See
“
Managing Metadata Sets ” on page 154 for details on creating metadata sets.
Note: Many of the metadata group names are used multiple times. Be sure you match
the metadata group ID (for example, PA_GRP_CUST_PRODUCTION_RIGHTS) to ensure
you are using the correct metadata group name when attempting to match any of
these metadata sets.
