Client Preview - Admin Interface

* For use by KH&C employees only. *

Site Structure

There are two interfaces to the "Client Preview" web site.
1. Admin interface:

     * Administrators create client accounts.
      
(Kirby creates an account called client_A with password client_A123)
     * Administrators log into the "admin login" page as a client to upload videos.
      
(Kirby logs in as client_A to upload videos for client_A)
     * Administrators title video files for a client.
      
(Kirby calls ford.mov Ford Commercial, version 2.5)

2. Client interface:
     * Clients log into the "client login" page to watch videos for their eyes only.RedWBanner
