Grass Valley K2 Dyno PA Configuration Manual v.2.0 - Manual (Page 39)

Users are created in the Dyno PA application under Users & Preferences . Normal users are restricted
from the following tasks:
• Adding a server
• Adding a managed channel
• Creating a user
The Advanced Settings tab of Users & Preferences lets you enter a Windows administrator username
and password into the Dyno PA system. This is necessary because the Dyno PA platform service
cannot access file-system repositories without administrator rights on the PC running the platform
service.
Tip: Grass Valley recommends putting the same administrator username and password on
every system in the Dyno PA system that needs to access file-system repositories.
