User Accounts
Vodafone Business Surveillance Server employs strict security rules, ensuring that before any user can
connect to the server they have the appropriate login credentials to the server - there is no concept of
guest or anonymous usage within Vodafone Business Surveillance. Once created a user account can then
be granted a level of access (e.g. a specific domain) and permissions to access resources within that level
(e.g. Encoder Administrator).
There are two kinds of users:
Server-wide Administrators
These users have server-wide access, and if given the appropriate role, can perform:
o
Server administration and configuration
o
Domain management
o
Group, Encoder and User Account Management
o
Encoder configuration
Domain Users
These users have specific access within a domain, and if given the appropriate role, can perform:
o
Group, Encoder and User Account Management
o
Encoder configuration
Given the server-wide access granted, in normal operation it would be expected to create a limited number
of Server Administrators. Normal users should be created within a domain, and only granted access to the
required encoders or account management permissions.
Managing Server-wide Administrators
From the server homepage click the
Server-wide Administrators icon to open
the users page, which lists users with
server-wide access and provides the ability
to create new Server Administrators using
the Create single user menu option.
When creating a user, it is possible to enter
a description which will be displayed as a subheading underneath the user’s name. To open the details
page for the desired user, select the appropriate item from the list.
Tip: The ability to quickly create multiple user accounts using the Create multiple users function. It is possible to
either specify a single password to use with all supplied usernames, or to individually specify a unique password for
every user. Each user can also be created with a chosen role – if selected each user is assigned the same role on a
server/domain-wide basis.
Managing domain users
From the domain homepage click the Users icon to open the users page, which lists all users in the
domain and provides the ability to create a new user using the Create user menu option. When creating a
user account, it is possible to enter a description which will be displayed as a subheading underneath the
user’s name. To open the details page for the desired user, select the appropriate item from the list.
