Managing User Accounts

Avid|DS makes full use of the Windows 2000 operating system. This includes

multiple user accounts with your Avid|DS presets, layouts, and preferences

preserved on an individual basis.

When you log on to a Windows 2000 workstation, you are accessing an

environment associated with your user name. When you set any personal or

project preferences while logged on, Avid|DS saves them to your user profile.

For example, when you customize the Avid|DS desktop, the layouts that you

create are saved with your user name. The next time you log on to that

workstation, it recalls your previous settings.

When you first receive your Avid|DS system, the Windows 2000 operating system

is already installed, and an administrator account is set up with a blank password.

You can change your password, and create and modify user accounts by

accessing the Windows 2000 Computer Management console, which lets you

define security features, such as permissions, rights, accounts, user groups,

and audit policies.

To create a user account

1. On the Windows desktop, right-click the My Computer icon and

choose Manage.

2. Use the tree (left) to navigate to System Tools > Local Users and

Groups > Users.
