General Workflow for Creating Users and Groups

Creating groups and users for Final Cut Server involves these steps:

Creating Users in the Accounts Pane of System Preferences

Stage 1:

or in Workgroup Manager

You can either create local users or skip this step if you already have user accounts set
up using Open Directory.

Creating Groups and Users in the Accounts Pane of System Preferences

Stage 2:

or in Workgroup Manager

You need to create one or more groups using the Accounts pane of System Preferences
or the Mac OS X Server Workgroup Manager. You may skip this step if suitable groups
have already been created in Open Directory or Active Directory.

After you have

created the groups, you can add users to them. You can mix local and Open Directory
or Active Directory users.

Adding Groups to Final Cut Server

Stage 3:
After groups have been created and users added to them, you need to add the groups
to Final Cut Server.

Assigning Permission Sets for Groups

Stage 4:
Based on the profile selected during Final Cut Server installation, your system will
already have several permission sets. These permission sets define a wide variety of
permission settings, allowing you to control access to the Final Cut Server catalog. You
can create additional permission sets if necessary. For more information about creating
custom permission sets, see the Final Cut Server Administrator Guide.
Assigning permission sets to the groups is the last step in making Final Cut Server
available to your users.
