Instruction Manual
Menu and Archive Access Restrictions
Menu access is restricted as follows:
Only an administrator has access to the Manage System menu. The administrator also has access to all operations in all
Archive folders even if user access is enabled on an archive.
If access control is disabled in the v2 services permissions screen, non administrator users have access to all menus and
menu tabs except Live Channel > Order, Archive > Metadata, Archive > Permissions, and Manage System.
If the administrator enables v2 services access control, non administrators are restricted to only those services that access
has been granted to in the V2 Services Permissions screen along with the Archive > Recent Updates, Archive > Browse, and
Live Channels > View screens
By default all users can carry out all operations in all Archive folders. To restrict access to an archive you must use the Archives >
Permissions screen to enable access control.
To see Vision

as a limited rights user:
1.
Go to Manage System > User Access, check that User Access is set to NT User Groups.
2.
Create a windows user account called testuser on the master server. Set testuser to be a member of the Users windows user
group.
3.
Set user password for testuser to test123.
4.
Go to Manage System > V2 Services Permissions and Enable V2 Service User Access control. Access to all service pages
(Reflector, Recorder, Producer, DVB tuner, and MAX CSE encoder) is now restricted to users with permissions set in this screen.
As user bob has no permissions for these services, he has no access to these screens.
5.
Login to the Vision
2
user interface in a second browser tab by entering the standard URL, http://
<master server name>
/
v2.aspx and enter username=testuser and password=test123. You will now see the menus available to a user with the lowest
level of access rights. Note that the user can only access Archives > Browse, Archives > Recent Updates, and Live Channels >
View.
To allow a number of users to login, windows usergroups will need to be created on the master group for the different user types,
and then create user accounts that belong to these usergroups.
