Setup and Administration Guide

128 Part II General Administration
Working with Permission Sets
Permission sets are created and configured from a Final Cut Server client’s
Administration window.
To see the existing permission sets:
1 In a Final Cut Server client, choose Administration from the Server pop-up menu to
open the Administration window.
Important: You must be logged in as a user with administrator privileges for the
Administration item to appear in the Server pop-up menu.
2 Click Permission Set in the column on the left to open the Permission Set pane.
A list of existing permission sets appears. By default there is one called “admin,” plus
others that the installer created based on the customer profile you selected. See “About
the Customer Profiles” on page 29 for more information.
Three columns appear:
 Name: This is the name of the permission set. This is also the name that appears
when you are managing groups.
 Perm ID: This is a number that Final Cut Server assigns to permission sets, based on
the order in which they are created.
 Priority: This is a number that defines the priority level of the permission set. Higher
values are consulted first to set the permissions for users who are assigned to
multiple groups. For example, if a user belongs to a group with a permission set that
has a priority of 3 and a second group that has a permission set priority of 4, the
second group’s permission set (with the priority of 4) is used.
