Using the Installer

During the installation process, you must select a customer profile that best describes
your intended use of Final Cut Server. The five profiles are: Television Station, Video
Production, Film Post Production, Education, and Other. These customer profiles are
intended to customize your Final Cut Server installation by adding items (metadata
sets, permission sets, and automations) you are most likely to need and eliminating
those you won’t.

You cannot later select a different profile; however, you can manually

Important:

customize Final Cut Server, when the installation finishes, to contain any specialized
settings you need.

After completing the installation process, you should register Final Cut Server. Instructions
for registering Final Cut Server are provided after the installation instructions.

Configuring System Preferences

Stage 2:
When the Final Cut Server Installer has finished, you can configure the Final Cut Server
System Preferences panes. These panes include a variety of settings, including settings
for permissions, devices, and automations. For details, see Chapter 4.

Adding Users and Groups

Stage 3:
Final Cut Server uses the user and group accounts you configure in the Accounts
pane of System Preferences or in the Mac OS X Server Workgroup Manager. You also
assign each group a permission set. By creating groups of users and applying different
permission sets to each group, you can control the level of access for the users. For
details, see Chapter 5.
