Using the ACC Control Panel

Following your purchase of Avid Content Core, you should receive an email that includes a URL and the credentials required to sign into the ACC Control Panel. You must use this tool to configure the following:

• The Identity Provider settings that you will use to connect your enterprise authentication system (such as Okta or Microsoft Entra) to Avid Content Core.

  This process allows all Avid Content Core users to use the same credentials for both Avid Content Core and their local workstations.

• The mapping of your Identity Provider groups to Avid Content Core roles.

  This process allows you to define which user groups have access to certain functions, features, and administrative-only areas of Avid Content Core.

The following example illustration shows the Admin portal with an OIDC configured identity provider.

The portal is divided into two tabs:

• Identity Providers. For details, see Configuring an Identity Provider.

• Role Mappings. For details, see Reviewing ACC Seats and User Roles.

Avid supports the ability to configure more than one IDP against a single Avid Content Core system, if your organization requires it. However if you have individual users that belong to multiple IDPs, Avid highly recommends that users connect to ACC using a single IDP option consistently.

To connect to the ACC Control Panel:

1. Find the message from Avid in your email's inbox.

   The email should be from [email protected] and have a subject header of: "Your Avid Content Core tenant is ready — next steps"

2. Click the Admin portal link in the email to open a web browser and access the ACC Control Panel.

3. At the welcome page, enter the credentials provided in the email.

   The temporary access password expires automatically after 7 days of issue. If your password has expired, contact Avid Sales to request a new one.

4. At your first login, the system asks you to update your password. Enter and confirm a new password and sign in.

   The Admin Portal appears.

n After you configure your IDP and you successfully log in to the ACC Control Panel with your SSO credentials, the temporary credentials sent via email become disabled and no longer usable.

To disconnect from the ACC Control Panel:

• Click the Logout button in the upper-right corner of the user interface.

Using Light and Dark Modes

The portal allows you to display the user interface in either a light or dark mode.

To change modes:

• Click the "moon" button to left of the Logout button to switch to light mode.

• Click the "sun" button to left of the Logout button to switch to light mode.
