About Users and Groups
To use Final Cut Server, you usually need to add at least one group with at least one
user. In most cases, you will create several groups, each configured with different
permissions and then add the appropriate users to each group.
The Final Cut Server installer automatically adds the computer’s Administrators group,
named “admin,” and applies the default “admin” permission set to it.
The actual creation of the groups and users can be done on a separate server
computer using Open Directory or on the computer you installed Final Cut Server on
using either the Accounts pane of System Preferences or using Mac OS X Server
Workgroup Manager (if installed on Leopard Server). In Final Cut Server, you choose the
groups to use, create permission sets, and assign the permission sets to each group.
