permissions. For ease of implementation, VBrick recommends configuring User Groups and
Resource Groups (see these sections below), prior to configuring users.
However, if further individual permissions need to be assigned, administrators can add them
as a user. Under the users section, administrators have the ability to add, modify and delete
users. Submit may be pressed at anytime during the process or can be done when everything
has been added/modified. Users will have the permissions of the group as well as the
additional permission that are assigned to them. The ETV Portal Server is additive in its
permissions, meaning that it takes all of the permissions that are provided to a particular user
and provides all of these to the user.
Users can be added by using the VBrick Database if LDAP authentication is not available or
desired. Finally, in order to assign user PINs to access Set-Top Boxes, a user assignment is
needed (see Set-Top Box Authentication section below). Note that STB PIN access is
dependent on the VBrick Database being enabled. See Access Control
on page 69 for details.
