Accounts for Using Interplay Transfer
When you are configuring an Interplay Transfer Engine you must specify a user name and
password that Interplay Transfer should use to connect to the Avid Interplay engine. This user
account must already exist on the Interplay Engine.
Service Framework Administrator Password

password, open the Service Framework Service Configuration tool and set the password in the
System Configuration Service.
To set the Service Framework password:
1. Open the Service Configuration tool and click the Processes tab.
2. Select the System Configuration service and select the system running the System
Configuration service.
3. Set the Administrator password and click Apply at the top of the dialog box.
Accounts for Avid Editing Applications, Assist, and Instinct
The following limitations exist for editing clients in an Interplay environment:
• Avid editing applications such as NewsCutter
®
and Media Composer
®
, and Symphony
™
Nitris
®
that are part of an Interplay environment can use a regular Windows User login.
However, when you install the application, you must first log in as an Administrator, install
the application, and initially launch the application as an Administrator. See the Avid editing
application ReadMe for details.
• Interplay Assist and Instinct have similar limitations: When you install the application, you
must first log in as an Administrator, install the application, and initially launch the
application as an Administrator. You can then subsequently run the application as a regular
User.
