of the user. Click OK.
4. Save your configuration changes by clicking Save in the yellow notification bar in the upper-
right corner of the Management Application.
Add Windows users
When you add Windows users, you import users defined locally on the server (or from Active
Directory
® , supported in XProtect Enterprise 2013+ and XProtect Professional 2013+ only) and
authenticate them based on their Windows login. This generally provides better security than the basic
user concept, and it is the method Milestone recommends. If you want to include users in groups,
make sure you add required groups before you add users. You cannot add existing users to groups.
Add Windows users in two ways: One is through the Manage user access wizard. Alternatively, add
Windows users this way:
1. Expand Advanced Configuration, right-click Users, and select Add New Windows User.
This opens the Select Users or Groups dialog.
Note that you can only make selections from the local computer, even if you click the
Locations... button.
2. In the Enter the object names to select box, type the relevant user name(s), then use the
Check Names feature to verify it. If you type several user names, separate each name with a
semicolon. Example: Brian; Hannah; Karen; Wayne.
3. When done, click OK.
4. Specify General Access and Camera Access properties. These properties will determine the
rights of the user.
5. Click OK.
6. Save your configuration changes by clicking Save in the yellow notification bar in the upper-
right corner of the Management Application.
Users added from a local database logging in with a client should not specify any server name, PC
name, or IP address as part of the user name. Example of a correctly specified user name: USER001.
Example of an incorrectly specified user name: PC001/USER001. The user should still specify a
password and any required server information.
Add user groups
User groups are logical groups created and used for practical purposes in the Management
Application only. They are not in any way connected with user groups from central directory services
such as, for example, Active Directory
® .
By grouping users, you can specify rights (see "Configure user and group rights" on page 151) for all
users within a group in one go. If you have many users performing similar tasks, this can save you
significant amounts of work. Make sure you add groups before you add users: you cannot add existing
users to groups.
1. Expand Advanced Configuration, right-click Users, and select Add New User Group.
