Creating Windows Users and User Groups on the
File Gateway Server
You must add Windows users and user groups to the Avid ISIS File Gateway server (ISIS |
7500 and ISIS | 5500) or System Director (ISIS | 2500) using the standard Windows 2008
operating system process. The following procedures are provided to help with that process,
but for details on creating user and group accounts:
• On the File Gateway server (ISIS | 7500 and ISIS | 5500), right-click the Local Users
and Groups folder in the left pane of the Computer Management window and select
Help.
• On the System Director (ISIS | 2500), right-click on the Local Users and Groups folder
in the left pane of the Computer Management window and select Help.
Restrictions for user names:
• If a user name contains a space, the part of the name after the space will not be displayed
in the User List after you save the configuration. Avid recommends not using spaces in
user names.
• The File Gateway does not support user names that contain any non-ASCII characters
(including Asian and diacritical characters). An error occurs on the client indicating you
have an incorrect URL.
To create a local user account:
1. Right-click My Computer and select Manage.
The Computer Management Window opens.
2. Expand the “Local Users and Groups” folder in the left pane.
3. Click Users.
4. Click Action > New User.
5. Type the appropriate information in the dialog box.
6. Select or clear the appropriate check boxes:
- User must change password at next logon
- User cannot change password
- Password never expires
- Account is disabled
7. Click Create, and then click Close.
