Controlling Access to viewLinc
Administrators define who has access to viewLinc functional areas by
creating Users and Groups, and assigning a permission hierarchy. This
hierarchy provides flexibility when assigning specific Users or Groups
viewLinc tasks they need to perform, and which Locations or Zones you
want them to access.
Each User and Group is assigned a permission hierarchy which is made
up of:
•
Rights: Defines access to functional areas in viewLinc (windows).
•
Access Control: Grants permission to a Location or Zone.
For example, if a User is assigned the Right, Manage Devices , in order
to perform the tasks in the Locations Manager window, the User must
also be added to the Access Control list for specific Locations.
Setting up access controls in viewLinc involves these tasks:
•
•
