case, the child node will show a blue breadcrumb and the parent will show a grey
breadcrumb. The table below describes this feature in detail.

Table 8:

Permission breadcrumbs

Permission
Breadcrumb

Description

Blue

A blue breadcrumb indicates that there are express permissions granted
on that node. These permissions are inherited by the children nodes
underneath the parent node.

Grey

A grey breadcrumb indicates that there are express permissions assigned
to a child of the parent node, but not at the parent node itself.

This serves as a quick visual cue for the Administrator to find express
permissions granted to a user on devices buried in the Permission Tree.

If you continue to expand all of the grey breadcrumb nodes, you will
eventually arrive at the camera or device with one or more express
permissions, denoted by the blue breadcrumb.

Remember, permissions within TruVision Navigator can be as simple or as complex as
you like. Very simply, an Administrator can grant permission to users across all devices
in the system by applying those permissions at the TruVision Navigator Server node
(parent) and let them cascade across all child nodes in the system.

On the other hand, an Administrator can grant permission from the child nodes up for
granularity and control within the system. Groups will also come into play to ease the
task of permissions in the system.

Partially Automated Client Software Delivery

Remember that the process for delivering the client software is slightly different whether
you choose to use SMTP or not. If you do NOT have access to SMTP, you can still
deliver the client software remotely. However, there are a few additional steps you must
engage in around delivering the Client Download URL and login credentials to the user.

First, validate that there is no SMTP configuration in TruVision Navigator by right-clicking
on the TruVision Navigator Server node and select Properties. Ensure that the SMTP
Server IP Address is empty.

Second, when adding a user, the Administrator will have to generate a username and
password for the user, himself.
