Configuring System Authorizations
The ViconNet system enables you to configure system authorizations, depending on your organizational
requirements. The authorizations that you configure determine both user access and the authorized system
operations for users according to the group to which you assign them.
Configuring system authorizations consists of defining the groups and users in your system, as described in
the following sections:
•
Defining Groups,
•
Defining Users,
page 83
Users and Groups can only be defined in the Nucleus. The
User & Group Management
button in the
System Settings
window is disabled in all other sites.
After groups and users have been defined, you can define which system operations will be available to
each group of users, per site, as described in
Configuring Site Authorization
, page 86.
Thereafter, each authorized user can access the system and the ViconNet application, using their assigned
user name and password. The system automatically checks the login information according to the assigned
group and then enables the allowed system operations, which can include:
•
Configuring the network setup, as described on page 59.
•
Configuring PTZ controls, as described on page 72.
•
Viewing and recording live video, as described in
Chapter 4, Viewing Live Video
and
Chapter 5,
Recording Live Video
.
•
Playing back recorded video, as described in
Chapter 6, Playing Back Recorded Video
.
Access to the available sites and devices (cameras and so on) is also dependent on the assigned
authorization of each user.
