able to communicate with in order to manage external events. You
can also use this to exclude IP addresses that you do not want data
from.

Roles

About roles

Roles determine which devices users can access. Roles also determine rights and handle security
within the video management system. First, you add roles, then you add users and groups and finally
a Smart Client and a Management Client profile as well as other default profiles that belong to each
role. Roles you can create in the system have their own view groups in XProtect Smart Client in which
their views are created and stored.

The system comes with one predefined role which you cannot delete: the Administrators role. Users
and groups with the Administrators role have complete and unrestricted access to the entire system.
For this reason, you cannot specify role settings for the Administrators role. The Administrators role
has the default Smart Client profile and the default evidence lock profiles and does not have a time
profile.
