User Administration
The Networked VGA Grid has three configured users:
l
admin
l
operator
l
viewer
Each VGA Grid HD Encoder has the same three users. The user accounts are not connected and password
changes must be made to each device in the system individually.
By default, none of these users have passwords. For security purposes you should add passwords to the admin
and operator accounts.
This section describes the following user administration topics:

Understanding User Privileges
Networked VGA Grid's three user accounts are admin, operator and viewer. The user account names cannot be
changed and the accounts cannot be disabled. By default, none of the accounts have passwords.
Admin
The admin account is the main operator used for all system configuration. This user has access to all options in
the web interface.
Operator
The operator account is a subclass of the admin account. The operator can log in and view all configuration
items but may only make changes to a small number of options. This account is intended for an operator to
start and stop recordings, download recordings, or perform network diagnostics.
