Registering Users

Cinegy Desktop uses Windows domain information to manage its users. Your access rights and the available feature set depend on your login.

Note
Ask your system administrator to create a user account for you to work with Cinegy Desktop.

Starting Cinegy Desktop

icon

The Cinegy Desktop installer creates the program icon on the Windows desktop for all PC users, which is one of the most convenient ways to launch the application.

Cinegy Desktop must be properly connected to the Cinegy Archive server and have access to Cinegy Archive network media shares. The connection is normally configured during the installation process.

Logon and Logoff

To work with Cinegy Desktop, you must be a Windows domain user. The default Windows login information is used when the domain user logs on. A Cinegy Desktop client can then be started without the additional logon procedure. The user accounts are used to determine their access rights and default settings/preferences.

User profiles are stored in the Cinegy Archive database. The profiles contain all the information on the plug-in windows settings and position.

Each time you log in, you will get your last profile loaded automatically.

Caution
Cinegy Desktop does not allow multiple user login from different workstations in order to prevent profile ambiguity. An error message will appear when trying to log in to another workstation.

The user is automatically logged off when Cinegy Desktop is closed. All the settings are stored in the user’s profile.
