Authentication, no users need to be defined. When a user Authenticates to the system, the
Authentication process will return the User's group information. The user will receive the
privileges that are provided to that group.

Resource Groups
In the ETV Portal Server software, providing a user with Resources refers to providing them
access to a particular functionality of the EtherneTV system. These include the ability to
view Live Channels, to view VOD content, to publish content to the VOD, and to record
content. A unique feature of the ETV Portal Server software is the ability to group Resources
into Resource Groups. This allows the administrator to quickly and easily assign several
resources at once to more than one User or User Groups. This also makes the ongoing
management of this content for these Users or User Groups much easier.
