  • The default workgroup shown in Avid Interplay Access is AvidWG, but may not be in use.

  • The workgroup in use and that should be entered in the URI can be found by going to the Interplay server settings as shown above.

URL is the web services qualified hostname or ip address followed by the port number

The HTTP port of Interplay Services is 80, and HTTPS is 443, but it can possibly be something else if someone had a reason. To check your port follow this guide: https://avidtech.my.salesforce-sites.com/pkb/articles/en_US/How_To/How-to-change-Avid-Interplay-Webservices-connection-port
