Grass Valley K2 System Guide v.9.0 - Manual (Page 175)

• Media access — There are three types of media access security, as follows:
• Media access in AppCenter — You can set user permissions on the K2 bins that store your
media. Then, depending on the current AppCenter logon, permission is granted for AppCenter
operations on the media in the bins.
• Media access via FTP — The user permissions set on K2 bins in AppCenter also determine
access via FTP. Depending on the FTP session logon, permission is granted for FTP commands
accessing the media in the bins.
• Media access via protocols — The permissions set on K2 bins in AppCenter also determine
access for channels controlled by protocols. Depending on the channel accessing the media,
permission is granted for operations on the media in the bins.
• Channel access security — You can set user permissions for each channel. Then, depending on
the current AppCenter logon or protocol operating a channel, permission is granted or denied to
operate the channel.

Example: Setting up user access to bins

to media. User B requires a bin that provides media to other users, but prevents other users from
modifying the media. To set up security features to meet these requirements, do the following:
