1 Working with the Avid ISIS Management Console
The Avid ISIS Management Console allows you to access administration functions from any system that has an
Ethernet connection to the System Director, as well as from the System Director itself.

Performing administrative functions on more than one Administration site at the same time can cause
unexpected results.
When you access the Avid ISIS Management Console, the Login page opens, and the site prompts you to supply a
user name and password to log in. If you type the wrong password, an error message appears and the Login dialog
box reappears.

When you first install the Avid ISIS software, the login password is blank by default. To set a password for the
administrator, see “Changing the Administrator Password” on page 29.
Standard ISIS client users can log in to the Management Console, but they will have limited access to the
Management Console interface. They can also view certain information about the network through the Client
Manager. For more information about the Client Manager, see the Avid ISIS Client Manager Help. The Avid ISIS
Client Guide is also included in the AvidISISDocumentation folder in the software kit.

• Change users’ or user groups’ access (unmount only the affected Workspaces)
• Rename or delete Workspaces (unmount only the affected Workspaces)
