Networked VGA Grid User Guide
User administration
Set or change user passwords
By default, admin, operator and viewer have no assigned passwords. Both the admin and the operator user
have access to the Admin panel, so you should always set a password for both admin and operator accounts.
Refer to your system administrator for your organization’s specific password requirements.
If the admin password is defined and the operator password is undefined, then the operator uses
the admin password by default.
In addition to setting global passwords for viewers, you can also set access passwords and IP restrictions on a
per-channel basis from the channel's
Streaming
Restrict viewers by IP address
.
Passwords are case sensitive and can use all alpha-numeric keys in the ASCII range. Your password can be up
to 255 characters long, but should not include any spaces.
Setting a user’s password causes the user to be logged out. Be ready to log back in with the new
admin password or have operators and viewers log in with the appropriate new password.
Viewers may need to refresh their browser window or press play in their media player.
If you lose the admin password, refer to the section
.
Changing the admin password while live streaming disrupts the view of the stream for viewer-level
users. Complete any admin password changes when there is no live stream in progress.
To set a user password:
1. Login to the Admin panel as
admin
.
2. Select the
Access passwords
link in the Configuration menu; the password configuration page opens.
3. Highlight and delete the
current password
for your selected user (the password is currently masked
as dots).
For security reasons, the current password appears as eight dots regardless of password
length, and even if there is no password set.
4. Highlight and delete the
confirmation password
for the selected user.
5. Select the user’s
password
field and type a new password for the user.
