3.2 Guidelines for setting up users
Usually a bigger system will allow several users to login with different privileges and rights. Therefore it
can be useful to group several users with similar tasks and rights in so called user groups in Observer.
Take these steps for setting up users and groups:
1.
Create user groups for the various roles and privileges (examples are: security personnel, view only
users, administrators). For each users group define the system wide privileges. See
5 Managing
users
on page 43.
2.
In the users groups create the users you need. Please note that by default the users will inherit the
privileges from the group they belong to.
3.
Set the camera access rights per user.
3.3 Guidelines for setting up views
Observer allows you create several views for showing cameras in various configurations and sizes.
Therefore it makes sense to create various views for different surveillance purposes. Since the views
are configured per user, we suggest that the administrator creates the standard set of views and then
copies the views to the various users.
Take these steps for setting up views:
1.
Create the various views needed by most users. See
6.1 Creating a new view
on page 52.
2.
Copy the views to the various users. See
6.8 Copying views between users
on page 61.
Later on you can create further views and copy them again.
