all available groups. In Windows 2000, go to My Network Places > Entire Network > Directory,
the domain, and Users.
Note Windows XP needs to be configured to Show Common Tasks in Folders. To configure
this, in My Network Places, go to Tools > Folder Options. In the General > Tasks
section, select the radio button called Show common tasks in folders.
Add/Modify Group's User Assignments
Users can be assigned to specific User Groups, and they will inherit the privileges of that group. If no Users appear, then none have been defined. However, if LDAP is being used for Authentication, no users need to be defined. When a user Authenticates to the system, the Authentication process will return the User's group information. The user will receive the privileges that are provided to that group.
Add/Modify Group's Resource Assignments
Resource groups can be assigned to User Groups, and the User Group will inherit the privileges of that Resource Group. If no Resource Groups appear, then none of been defined. Click Resource Groups in the main navigation to the left to create Resource Groups.
Note The remaining options for User Groups (beginning with Add/Modify Live Channel Privileges) are the same as those described earlier for individual Configuring Users on page 111. The only difference is that the descriptions will apply to groups of users rather than to individual users.
Resource Groups
In the ETV Portal Server software, providing a user with Resources refers to providing them access to a particular functionality of the EtherneTV system. These include the ability to view Live Channels, to view VOD content, to publish content to the VOD, and to record content. A unique feature of the ETV Portal Server software is the ability to group Resources into Resource Groups. This allows the administrator to quickly and easily assign several resources at once to more than one User or User Groups. This also makes the ongoing management of this content for these Users or User Groups much easier.
