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 log on with the user name and password for one of the pre-configured accounts.

The following table shows the different types of users and their privileges.

Windows administrator Grass Valley product administrator K2 product administrator Grass Valley product user

Windows Operating System Full access Full access Limited access (based on Windows user account privileges). Limited access (based on Windows user account privileges)

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.
