5. Select Add Area and enter a new Area name (e.g., StudioA).
A maximum of seven characters is recommended. (Seven is the
maximum for the Area Alias, described below.)
Note You can’t rename or delete “Default Area” although you may define an Area
Alias for it.
6. Add the next Area using the steps above.
Assigning a User to an Area
If desired, individual users can be assigned to an Area (able to control Des-
tinations only in that one Area).
1. Select Users.
2. Click on Select and select the individual user.
3. Select the Area field and select the desired Area.
If you wish to assign a user to all Areas, select Default Area.
Assigning Engines and Applications to an Area
Once the decision is made to divide the system into Areas, the System
Manager is used to assign all engines and applications to a given Area.
Assigning engines and applications to Areas affects access to application
Log-in. If an application is placed in an Area other the default and the Off-
line/Local/All Areas flag is set to Local, that application will only be acces
-
sible from OUIs and users configured for the same Area.
This technique is useful in very large systems where different users have
administrative rights for specific subsets of the system. If such is not
required, the recommended practice is to assign all engines and applica
-
tions to the default Area.
Assigning Applications for New SCBs
If you are adding new SCBs, you will need to create new instances of these
applications to run on the new hardware.
1. Go to System Manager > Applications.
2. Assign each CP Server application to the desired Area.
3. Set the Area access restrictions for the application:
• For unrestricted log-in access set the Off-line / Local / All Areas
flag to
All Areas.
• For restricted access set the flag to Local.
