The Administrator Account
During MediaCentral UX installation, a user named Administrator is created. This user is a member of the Administrator group by default, and as a result has administrator privileges.
During installation, the default Administrator password
Avid123 is set. The first time a user signs in with the user name Administrator, the user must supply this password. Note that this password is context-sensitive.
For security, the user must then change the password. For more information, see
Changing Passwords and
User Management Utility Tools.
After the first sign-in, the administrator must configure system settings such as information about the Avid iNEWS, Interplay Production, and Interplay MAM systems. For more information, see
Signing In to MediaCentral | UX and
Configuring System Settings.
Additional Administrator Accounts
An administrator can add other users to the Administrators group. All members of the Administrators group have the same administrator privileges. For more information, see
Creating a New Group or Editing Group Details.
