Security for a Multi-Media System
4. Re-enter the password in the Confirm password field.
5. Click either:
• Save and Close, to update the Administrator password.
• Close, to cancel the update. You are asked to confirm that the changes are to be
ignored. Click OK.
Results
After the Multi SA assigns a password to the Administrator account:
• The Password column shows
set
at the Administrator line.
• The password must be entered every time that a user using that account logs on. If
that user enters a user ID/password combination that is not valid, the user is warned
with a message and returned to the logon dialog box.
• The first time that the Administrator account is used to log on to the View application,
a local copy of the Multi Central database is made to the PC running View.
Sharing the Administrator Account
When an organization’s security needs are limited and Multi software is used by very few
people (one or two), you may elect to simply change the password of the Administrator
account and not create any accounts for other users.
What to Avoid
The locking out of authorized, legitimate users from the Multi-Media units on your Rapid Eye
system is a worst-case scenario that requires many steps to fix, one of which is knowing the
password to the Administrator account. See
High-Security Considerations on page 202 .
Rights of User Accounts
Like most Multi-Media security features, limiting user rights, or limiting access to sites is
optional. A Multi account can have as few or as many rights as are needed (see
Figure 10-8 ).
Admin software is used to set the rights of all user accounts. These rights apply to:
• Admin
• Maintenance
• View
Your Multi system administrator also defines the sites that a user is authorized to use,
including the amount of time that can be spent connected to sites.
