AXIS Camera Station User’s Manual
Users
Using the integrated Windows user database, a high level of security can be
implemented in AXIS Camera Station where users are granted or denied access
to a specific camera.
Granting user rights
If Enable password protection is selected, Windows handles the authentication
of all users trying to gain access. AXIS Camera Station handles access control
for each individual camera.
Before a user can be granted access to AXIS Camera Station, users must be
registered on the local computer or have an Active Directory user account.
Important!
Enable password
protection
If enabled, the Administration options, i.e. the different tabs available when
you click
File | Administration, are password protected. The user
authentication is integrated with Windows user authentication and users must
be registered on the local computer or have an Active Directory user account.
You can specify the cameras available to each user and their access rights.
When password protection is enabled, you (i.e. the user currently logged on)
will always be given administrator rights with access to all cameras.
AXIS Camera Station users must have full rights to the
C:\TempACS directory.
The camera access specified for the user is used both in the server environment
and when logging into AXIS Camera Station from a web browser. If password
protection is enabled, only users with Administrator access rights will have
access to the Administration pages.
