Adding and Managing Permission Sets
Each group has a permission set applied to it. A permission set defines a wide variety of
permission settings, including asset and production filtering.
Important: The “admin” permission set is the only one that allows access to the client’s
Administration window. Even if you duplicate the “admin” permission set, that copy will
not have access to the Administration window.
About the Default Permission Sets
The Final Cut Server installer automatically creates six permission sets.
 admin: This is the only permission set that includes access to the Final Cut Server
client’s Administration window. It provides access to all aspects of the
Final Cut Server system. It should only be assigned to groups of users that are
capable of administering all aspects of the Final Cut Server system.
 artist, manager, and editor: These permission sets are all identical and provide access
to all aspects of the Final Cut Server system except for those that are specific to the
admin permission set.
The intention of these three permission sets is to give you a starting point for
creating specific permission sets for different groups of users. For example, you might
want to modify the artist permission set so that those users are only able to access
specific devices that contain the graphics they work on.
 reviewer: This permission set is unable to create, delete, catalog, or edit any of the
assets within the Final Cut Server catalog. The reviewer permission set is only able to
see assets that have a status of Approved, Ready for Review, Rejected, or Completed.
 browser: This permission set is unable to create, delete, catalog, edit, edit details, or
copy any of the assets within the Final Cut Server catalog. The browser permission
set is only able to see assets that have a status of Approved.
