Add/Modify User Information

To add or modify users, select Users from the navigation bar on the left.

User	• User – Use this option if the EtherneTV system will be accessed by
	a PC or Mac user, or if Users will be authenticated to IPRs via PIN
	numbers. This access is not limited to a specific PC or IPR.
	• IP Receiver – Use this option if the EtherneTV system will be
	accessed via a IPR attached to a television or other video display. If
	IP Receiver is selected, then the privilege to the system will be on a
	per IPR basis. The authentication will take place automatically, so
	no end user interaction is required. When choosing IPR, the IPR's
	host name or IP address must be entered, as well as an optional
	location/description of the IPR.
Username	To authenticate using an LDAP database, the user name must match
	exactly what is in the LDAP database (the Portal Server is case
	sensitive). A new user can also be assigned (if using the VBrick
	database option) that does not exist in the LDAP database.
Password	For LDAP authentication a password is not needed (the user will use
	their normal network login password). If using the VBrick database a
	password must be entered (passwords are case sensitive). Passwords
	cannot exceed 31 characters.
IPR Pin	Optional. A PIN number can be assigned to a user that allows them to
	access their content from any IPR, regardless of the IPR's privilege
	level. This works well when an IPR is going to be a shared resource.
	Note: IPR PIN access is dependent on VBrick Database being
	enabled.
First Name	Optional. User first name.
Last Name	Optional. User last name.
E-mail address	Optional. User e-mail address.
Location	Optional. User location.

Assigning Privileges to Users

There are three ways to assign privileges to users:

•Assign the User to a User Group that has privileges assigned to it.

•Assign the User to a Resource Group that has privileges assigned to it.
