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.
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 O ptional. A PIN numb er can be a ssigned t o a user t hat 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.
