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 login with the username and password
for one of the pre-configured accounts.
The following table shows the different types of users and their privileges. Passwords are case
sensitive.

About application security on the K2 SAN
The K2Config application and the Storage Utility application both require that you be logged in to
the application with administrator privileges in order to modify any settings. These privileges are
based on the Windows account that you use when you log in to the K2Config application. When
you open Storage Utility from within the K2Config application, the account information is passed
to Storage Utility, so you do not need to log in separately to Storage Utility.
In SiteConfig you configure global and/or device-type credentials for device access. These credentials
are likewise based on Windows accounts.
You must use a Windows account that has local administrator privileges on the machine to be
configured. For example, when you are on a control point PC and you run the K2Config application
