Security and user accounts
Security and user accounts
To provide a basic level of security, the K2 system ships from the factory with three
pre-configured Windows operating system user accounts, with login usernames
Administrator, K2Admin, and K2User. From these accounts, the K2 system enforces
security levels, as shown in the following table.
Using standard Windows operating system procedures and the Microsoft
Management Console, you can set up additional local users and groups, as well as
domain users and groups. Once these are set up, they are available to K2 security
features. In this way you can set up a security framework to match your site’s unique
security requirements.
Configuring media access security for K2 bins
The permissions you set on a K2 bin restricts access to the media in the bin via
AppCenter operations, via FTP, and via protocol control of channels.
You can set permissions on a K2 bin as follows:
• Write — Allow access to rename or delete any of the clips located in the bin.
• Delete — Allow access to delete any of the clips located in the bin.
• Read — Allow access to the clips located in a bin, but deny the ability to modify
