Testing

After creating and configuring the Domain Controller and setting permissions
for NewsEdit bins, you should test the system to make sure that the security is
working:

NewsEdit system operation

• Basically, check that permissions exist functionally where they should and

that permissions are not granted functionally where they should not be
granted, as follows:

- A Viewer user should not be able to write or delete in a Bin where they

have read-only permission.

- Significantly, where a user is not granted any permissions (as might be the

case for an investigative report that should be editable by only a small
group) make sure that users outside the permitted group have no access
and no availability in the private group.

- Check that read only users in a particular bin cannot write or delete.

• Check that permissions are working correctly across users:

1. Create a sequence and add a dissolve between two clips.

2. Render the sequence and save it.

3. On another NewsEdit workstation, login as another user.

4. Open the saved sequence and play it, observing the dissolve within the

sequence.

SmartBins

Check that a clip recorded on a GXF SmartBin appears in the associated
NewsEdit SmartBin and vice-versa.
