Users and Roles
In the
Users
and
Roles
page within
Configuration
, a user with administrator
privileges can set up both administrator and user level passwords. Passwords are not
required, though they are recommended for controlling access to configuration functions.
An administrator password is required before a user password can be set.
Passwords can be set up only via this page or using SIS commands (see
Remote
Communication and Control
on page 156). They cannot be set via the front panel.
A user must be logged in as an administrator to see or change these settings.
To open this page, click the
Configuration
tab at the top of the SMP 351 embedded
Web pages and then click the
Users
and
Roles
tab on the second tier of tabs.
The
Users
and
Roles
page opens, showing the
Password
pane.

Setting passwords
If no passwords are set, anyone who opens the internal Web pages is connected with
administrator-level access and can make changes to all settings. To limit access and
prevent changes to system configuration, the following options are available:
•
Set an administrator level password only
— This option allows only administrators
to access the SMP 351 Web pages. End users cannot log into use the Web pages.
•
Set both an administrator level password and a user level password
— This
allows administrators to log in and manage all aspects of the SMP 351. Users can log
in to use just the
AV
Controls
panel and the
Recording
Controls
page.
To set only an administrator level password or both an administrator level password and a
user level password:
1.
Enter a the desired password, at least four characters long, into the
Administrator
Password:
field in the
Login
ID:
admin
panel.
•
Passwords must consist of alphanumeric characters (letters and numbers) only.
Special characters and punctuation are not allowed.
•
Passwords are case-sensitive.
