Understanding User Privileges
The VGADVI Broadcaster has three users: admin, operator and viewer. The user account names cannot be
changed and the accounts cannot be disabled. By default, none of the accounts have passwords.
Admin
The admin account is the main operator used for all device configuration. This user has access to all options in
the web interface.
Operator
The operator account is a subclass of the admin account. The operator can log in and view all configuration
items but may only make changes to a small number of options. This account is intended for an operator to
start and stop recordings, download recordings, or perform network diagnostics.
Viewer
The viewer account is for all end-users who are permitted to view the streamed channels. By default, when
there is no password, users are not prompted for a username and password when viewing a channel. A
username and password prompt appears when there is a viewer password set.
