Testing

After creating and configuring the Domain Controller and setting permissions for Aurora

Edit bins, you should test the system to make sure that the security is working:
• Aurora Edit system operation:

Basically, check that permissions exist functionally where they should and that

permissions are denied functionally where they should be denied. A Viewer user

should not be able to write or delete. Significantly, where a user is denied all

permissions (as might be the case for an investigative report that should be editable

by only a small group) make sure that users outside the group have no access and no

availability in the private group. Check that delete permissions are truly denied.

Check that read only users in a particular bin cannot write.

• Winking:

Winking requires a complicated security relationship between several processes.

Therefore, it’s important to check that users who were expected to be able to wink can

wink. Create a clip on the K2 media client and wink it to a non-SmartBin using Aurora

Edit. Likewise, create a Aurora Edit clip and wink it to a K2 media client

non-SmartBin.

• SmartBins:

Since SmartBins on an SAN function by winking, they have similar dependencies to

user-initiated winking. Check that a clip recorded on a Profile SmartBin appears in

the associated Aurora Edit SmartBin and vice-versa.

• Conform Server:

The Conform Server has overlapping permissions needs. Publish a story out of Aurora

Edit or Aurora Edit LD to make sure that it works.
