There are two possible methods of inputting users into the system.
When using local authentication (see page 44), users and groups
are created in the OmniView IP 5000HQ GUI. When using an LDAP
authentication server (see page 46), users and groups are imported
from a Windows Active Directory. With both authentication methods,
an administrator can grant users different access permissions as follows:
administrator – An administrator can view, modify, manage, and
control all OmniView IP 5000HQ Manager configuration settings,
including creating new users.
User – A user cannot access or change any of the OmniView IP
5000HQ Manager configuration settings. When a user logs in, only the
targets to which the user has permission to access appear.
View Only – This user can only view permitted target screens without
keyboard and mouse control. A “view only” indicator appears on
the viewer’s local mouse pointer. View only has no effect on
Access Services.
With local authentication, once you have created users you can form them
into groups. This makes management changes easier by, for example,
adding or deleting permitted targets per group rather than per individual
user. Creating groups is explained in the “Creating a user group” section
on page 19.
In LDAP mode, go to the “General tab” section below.
To create a new user (in local authentication mode):
1. From the “Management” menu, select “Users”. The “Users” page
appears showing the default administrator (admin) at the top of the list;
see Figure 14.
Figure 14 Users page
The columns show the following:
•
name – User’s login name. You can search for a user by typing the
login name in the “Search a user” field and clicking . You can sort
the names in alphabetical order A–Z or Z–A by clicking the top of the
“Name” column.
•
Member of – Groups in which the user is a member.
•
Permission level – Administrator or user. You can sort the users
in permission-level order—administrators then users, or users then
administrators—by clicking the top of the “Permission Level” column.
•
Description – Optional description.
