In EZNewsAdmin, click on Users in the menu bar. The User Administration window opens which allows you to create new users or edit existing ones. Add users by clicking New, then entering their UT-EID in the Login Name field. For the typical user, the password should be left blank. As long as the user logs into Windows is setup within EZNews with their UT- EID, and as long as that user is entered as an EZNews user by their UT-EID, EZNews will open they will be logged in automatically as Windows passes their EID credentials to EZNews and it opens without prompting for a password.
Other information is not required for operation, however Name and Department are important to quickly identify users during maintenance. Administrator, Producer and Talent rights can be enabled but can be left blank for typical users. Administrators have the ability to add users, create rundowns, and otherwise administer the EZNews setup. Producers have the ability to manage and edit certain shows or rundowns that are assigned to them.
Click the Save button to complete.
The process differs a little for EZNews Administrators. Any user that is designated as an EZNews administrator must enter a password in the Password and Confirm Password fields in the User Administration window. The password does not have to match that person’s UT-EID password and as a general security precaution, should not. It is easier if EZNews admins are present during setup so they can enter their own passwords.
TAs for the Broadcast sequence generally add new administrators for the new TAs that follow each semester. However, College tech services sometimes has to fill the void and create new EZNews admins.
