User Names and Passwords Required For Avid Shared Storage and Product Servers
27
The workspaces available from the Interplay Administrator settings depends on the user account
used to log in to the Interplay Administrator. For example, when you log in to the Interplay
Administrator server using the Administrator account, you can access all the Avid shared storage
workspaces, provided the users are set up correctly on both the Interplay Engine and Avid shared
storage system.
To access all workspaces:
1. Make sure the Administrator account on both the Interplay Engine and Avid shared storage
system have exactly the same password. Passwords are case sensitive.
2. Log in to the Interplay Administrator server using the Administrator account.
To access a limited list of workspaces:
1. Make sure a user account with administrator privileges is created on the Interplay Engine
and the same user name and password are used to create a user account on the Avid shared
storage system. These user accounts must have exactly the same user name and password.
2. Log in to the Interplay Administrator server using this user account.
The Avid shared storage user’s workspace access privileges setting determine which
workspaces are available.
Accounts for Using Deletion
To allow deletion in an Interplay environment, you must set up the following user accounts. You
can use any user name and password for these accounts, but the user name and passwords must
match exactly on all servers.
• Avid shared storage system
- Avid shared storage user with administrator privileges for Interplay Engine. This user
must not be the Administrator account.
• Interplay Engine server
- Microsoft Windows user with administrator privileges
- Interplay Engine Server Execution user
When installing the Interplay Engine on the Interplay Engine server, select the Custom
User Account option to create the Avid Interplay Engine Execution User. The Server
Execution User is the Microsoft Windows user that runs the Avid Interplay Engine (the
Avid Interplay Engine Execution User). This user needs to have administrative access to
the file server. The installer makes this user a local administrator on the Avid Interplay
Engine server. For more information, see “Creating the Server Execution User Account”
on page 25.
