Managing User Accounts
Avid|DS makes full use of the Windows NT operating system. This includes
multiple user accounts with your Avid|DS presets, layouts, and preferences
preserved on an individual basis.
When you log on to a Windows NT workstation, you are accessing an
environment associated with your user name. When you set any personal or
project preferences while logged on, Avid|DS saves them to your user profile.
For example, when you customize the Avid|DS desktop, the layouts that you
create are saved with your user name. The next time you log on to that
workstation, it recalls your previous settings.
When you first receive your Avid|DS system, the Windows NT operating
system is already installed, and an administrator account is set up with a blank
password.
You can change your password, and create and modify user accounts by
accessing the Windows NT User Manager. The User Manager lets you define
security features, such as permissions, rights, accounts, user groups, and
audit policies.
To create a user account
1. Go to Start > Programs > Administrative Tools (Common) > User Manager.
The User Manager window is displayed.
2. From the User menu, choose New User, and enter the new user
information in the dialog box.
3. Click OK.
The new user is displayed in the User Manager dialog box.
