6.3
Authentication
The site settings are protected with user authentication. By default the system is provisioned with an
administrator user. You can use this user to start configuring your system.
The credentials for the administrator user are:
Username:
admin
Password:
visionair
It is STRONGLY recommended to change the default password for the administrator user after first
authentication.
After visiting the ‘Site settings’ and authenticating you will be presented with an additional menu
containing all the available site settings.
6.4
User management
VPVision supports multiple users accounts. There are 2 user roles available, the default ‘user’ and
‘admin’ role.
Users with the ‘user’ role have limited access to the application and can only manage input devices,
pages and other related resources.
Administrators have additional access to the system settings, network and user management.
You can access the user management by authenticating with an administrator user, visiting the ‘Site
settings’ followed by navigating to the ‘Users’ page.
6.5
Managing input devices
Input devices are critical for recording data and completely configuring your system. They represent
the physical devices attached to your system.
You can add a new input by clicking the ‘Site settings’ button in the sidebar and navigating to ‘Input
devices’.
Input devices need to be enabled from the ‘Input devices’ page before they start recording data.
6.6
Defining widgets
Widgets represent the data recorded from one or multiple input devices. Additionally VPVision ships
with various widgets visualizing your environment and can help you in navigating between pages
within VPVision.
You can add a new widget by clicking the ‘Site settings’ button in the sidebar and navigating to
‘Widgets’.
6.7
Composing pages
Pages are your primary source of data visualization. Pages contain one or multiple widgets, of any
kind, and can be subdivided into multiple windows. Windows are essentially a category of your page.
You can add a new page by clicking the ‘Site settings’ button in the sidebar and navigating to
‘Pages’.
After adding a page and enabling it, either from the ‘Pages’ page or directly while adding a new page,
the page will be shown in the sidebar.
