Chapter 3 Configuring the NewsBrowse System
Users must be set up to allow access to the NewsBrowse application from a
NewsBrowse client PC. To do this, you must continue with the next section
“Administering NewsBrowse user access” .
Administering NewsBrowse user access
The NewsBrowse administrator sets up NewsBrowse users and can restrict their
access to NewsBrowse application features and assets, as explained in the following
procedures:
• “Configure NewsBrowse Groups” on page 110
• “Configure NewsBrowse Users” on page 111
• “Managing NewsBrowse User sessions” on page 113
Configure NewsBrowse Groups
The purpose of NewsBrowse groups is to manage users’ access to assets. The
NewsBrowse administrator can create groups and assign the groups individually to
users. Using the NewsBrowse application, groups can also be assigned to individual
assets. In this way each user’s access is restricted to only those assets in the groups to
which the user belongs.
Configuring NewsBrowse groups is optional. If you do not configure NewsBrowse
groups, users and assets are all assigned to the default group.
To configure NewsBrowse groups, do the following:
1. From the License Manager page, click Manage Groups . The Groups page is
displayed.
2. Enter names to define groups according to the workflow with which the system is
used.
3. Click Update to save changes.
Continue with the next procedure “Configure NewsBrowse Users” .
