Managing Users and Groups
 
MediaCentral UX requires its own database of users. You can import users from a Windows domain, individually create users, or both.
The MediaCentral UX user database is independent of the Interplay Production user database, Interplay MAM user database, and the Avid iNEWS user database. However, the MediaCentral UX database, through the MediaCentral User Management Service, serves as a password manager that authenticates the MediaCentral UX user against the Interplay Production, Interplay MAM, and iNEWS user databases.
When a user first signs in to MediaCentral UX, the user needs to accept or change the displayed credentials to access the iNEWS database or the Interplay Production database or both. Interplay MAM users must sign in with MediaCentral UX credentials that match credentials set in the Interplay MAM system. For more information, see Signing In to MediaCentral | UX.
