AXIS Camera Station User’s Manual
Users
Using the integrated Windows user database, a high level of security can be
implemented in AXIS Camera Station where users are granted or denied access
to a specific camera.
Granting user rights
If
Enable password protection
is selected, Windows handles the authentication
of all users accessing AXIS Camera Station and the cameras.
Before a user can be granted access to AXIS Camera Station, users must be
registered on the local computer or have an Active Directory user account.
Important!
Enable password
protection
If enabled, the Administration options, i.e. the different tabs available when
you click
File | Administration
, are password protected. You can specify the
cameras available to each user and their access rights.
When password protection is enabled, you (i.e. the user currently logged on)
will always be given administrator rights with access to all cameras.
Granting a Local User

protection is enabled, only users with Administrator access rights will have
access to the Administration pages.
