The XMS’s General Configuration Settings
Configuring the Authorization Manager
The Vertigo Suite offers system administrators and workflow managers the possibility of
restricting access to some of the functionality on a per-user basis using the Xmedia Server
and the operations, tasks, and roles defined in Microsoft’s Authorization Manager (see
“User Rights Management” on page 19-1
for more information).
Use of the Vertigo Suite’s User Rights Management is completely optional and it can be
configured, enabled, or disabled using the settings on the Xmedia Server Control Panel’s
G
ENERAL
page (figure
