ADMIN
Throughout the course of this lesson, you'll work with accounts for four users: an admin-
istrator, an editor, a producer, and an executive producer. If you're in a midsize to large
environment that has directory services deployed, adding users to those services is outside
the scope of this topic. You can reference the Mac OS X Server Directory Service manual
for step-by-step instructions on adding users to Open Directory. If you need to use Active
Directory users, please consult the
Final Cut Server Administrator Guide
for step-by-step
instructions on how to configure your system for integration with Active Directory.

production unless they're properly secured.
