General access
When you add or edit basic users (see "Add basic users" on page 163), Windows users (see "Add
Windows users" on page 163) or groups (see "Add user groups" on page 164), specify general access
settings:
Name Description
Live Ability to access the Live tab in XProtect Smart Client.
Playback Ability to access the Playback tab in XProtect Smart Client.
Setup
Ability to access setup mode in XProtect Smart Client.
Tip: By clearing the Live, Playback and Setup check boxes you
can effectively disable the user's/group's ability to use XProtect
Smart Client. You can use this as a temporary alternative to
deleting the user/group, for example while a user is on vacation.
Edit shared views
Ability to create and edit views in shared groups in XProtect Smart
Client.
Every user can access views placed in shared groups. If a
user/group does not have this right, shared groups are protected,
indicated by a padlock icon in XProtect Smart Client.
Edit private views
Ability to create and edit views in private groups in XProtect Smart
Client. Views placed in private groups can only be accessed by the
user who created them. If a user/group does not have this right,
private groups will be protected, indicated by a padlock icon in
XProtect Smart Client. Denying users the right to create their own
views may make sense in some cases, for example, to limit
bandwidth use.
For more information about shared and private views, see the
separate XProtect Smart Client documentation.
Administrator Access
Select the checkbox to allow users to access and work with the
Management Application. If you have more than one Administrator
member, you can clear the checkbox to ensure that other
administrators cannot access the Management Application.
Camera access
When you add or edit basic users (see "Add basic users" on page 163), Windows users (see "Add
Windows users" on page 163) or groups (see "Add user groups" on page 164), you can specify
camera access settings.
In the list of cameras, select the camera(s) you want to work with. Note the last item in the list, Rights
for new cameras when added to the system, with which you can allow the user/group access to any
future cameras.
Tip: If the same features should be available for access for several cameras, you can select multiple
cameras by pressing SHIFT or CTRL on your keyboard while you select.
For the selected camera(s), in the Access check box, specify if the user/group should have access to
live viewing and playback at all. If so, specify if they should have access to both live viewing and
