Configuration preset considerations
Applying a configuration preset with a different set of channels or recorders is
not
the same as
deleting a channel.
When deleting a channel or recorder that has recorded files, the Admin panel warns you of other
configuration presets that use the same channel or recorder index numbers. When you see this prompt, we
recommend you take a moment to look through the
Recordings
list to make sure you're OK to proceed with
permanently deleting all the recorded files.
Branding content
Branding content files (logos, background images, etc) are included in your configuration presets and must be
present on the system when creating a preset that includes the
Channels
group, otherwise a failure is
reported.
Configuration presets are not user profiles
Configuration presets should not be confused with the concept of user profiles. Specifically, the following
issues arise from trying to use configuration presets as user profiles:
l
recorded files are not removed between application of configuration presets
(users could see each
other's files)
l
configuration presets can be overwritten and deleted with no password
(users could affect each other's
presets)
l
branding and recorded files can be deleted, affecting more than just the currently applied configuration
presets
(users could erase branding or recordings belonging to other users)
l
applying a configuration presets does not clear the settings from groups not part of the preset
(user
information is not private)
