NET
Administrator Shows if the user has extended rights (yes—checked) (e.g. for deleting other users) or
if the user is just a normal user (no—unchecked).
Password You should always use a unique password and communicate it to the user using a safe
method (verbally, by FAX, encrypted email).
Priority Here you can give users different priorities according to how quickly their jobs should move
to the front of the queue (do not confuse this with the priority of user jobs). Users with a high priority
are preferred to users with a low priority and therefore have their work rendered more swiftly. You can
choose any value between 0 (lowest priority) and 100 (highest priority). By default the administrator
has a value of 100 and every user a value of 50.
When installing an Internet rendering service you could for example congure the priority according
to the basic payment. Users paying a premium would be allocated a higher priority and would receive
their work more quickly.
Info Here you can specify additional data for your own reference, for example; info=My best paying
client.
You cannot change the user name at a later point. If this should become
necessary, though, simply create a new user with the new name and delete
the old one.
You should read the Security Issues section carefully when conguring multiple
users - look up ‘security issues’ in the index.
Console Window
This window appears when starting CINEMA 4D NET Render. From the File menu you can edit your
Network Settings and view the installed plugins. In the window you will see several messages; the
progress of the actual scene the user is rendering, for example. This window is used mainly for
checking if the program is running after being installed. As a rule, you should use your web browser
for checking jobs and clients because it is much easier and more information is made available.
