permissions. For ease of implementation, VBrick recommends configuring User Groups and Resource Groups (see these sections below), prior to configuring users.

However, if further individual permissions need to be assigned, administrators can add them as a user. Under the users section, administrators have the ability to add, modify and delete users. Submit may be pressed at anytime during the process or can be done when everything has been added/modified. Users will have the permissions of the group as well as the additional permission that are assigned to them. The ETV Portal Server is additive in its permissions, meaning that it takes all of the permissions that are provided to a particular user and provides all of these to the user.

Users can be added by using the VBrick Database if LDAP authentication is not available or desired. Finally, in order to assign user PINs to access Set-Top Boxes, a user assignment is needed (see Set-Top Box Authentication section below). Note that STB PIN access is dependent on the VBrick Database being enabled. See Access Control on page 69 for details.
