Grass Valley K2 System Guide v.9.0 - Manual (Page 177)

Passwords and security on Grass Valley systems
To provide a basic level of security, Grass Valley systems recognize three different security levels
based on Windows users and groups, and the systems ship from the factory with accounts
pre-configured accordingly. To access the system you must login with the username and password
for one of the pre-configured accounts.
The following table shows the different types of users and their privileges. Passwords are case
sensitive.

To support legacy FTP and security features, K2 systems also have movie, mxfmovie, mpgmovie,
and video_fs accounts. Do not use these accounts to log in to the Windows operating system on K2
systems.
Configuring media access security for K2 bins
The permissions you set on a K2 bin restricts access to the media in the bin via AppCenter operations,
via FTP, and via protocol control of channels.
You can set permissions on a K2 bin as follows:
• Write — Allow access to rename or delete any of the clips located in the bin.
• Delete — Allow access to delete any of the clips located in the bin.
• Read — Allow access to the clips located in a bin, but deny the ability to modify the clips.
• List Bin Contents — Allow or deny access to explore the contents of the bin. This permission
also controls access to transfer clips in/out of the bin and to perform search operations on the
bin.
