SECURITY
User Management
There are two types of users in the system:
•
Administrator: referred to as “admin” in this manual. The
default name of the administrator is admin, which cannot be
modified. Admin has full permission and can manage all users
and devices. Only one admin user is allowed in the system.
•
Common user: referred to as “user” in this manual. User only
has permission to play live and recorded video. Up to 31
common users are allowed in the system.
You can add a user on the user management interface (under
Setup
>
System
>
Security > User
).
After the user is added successfully, you can change the password by
entering the new password or delete the user by clearing the username.
Note:
Only admin can change passwords. Changing the username
or password for a user when the user is still logged in will
force the user to log out. The user must use the new
username or password to log in.
•
Only admin can add and delete users. Deleting a user when
the user is still logged in will force the user to log out. A deleted
user cannot log in.

obtained by either creating and sending a certificate request to a CA or
