About users

The term users primarily refers to users who connect to the surveillance system through their clients.

You can configure such users in two ways:

 As basic users, authenticated by a user name/password combination.

 As Windows users, authenticated based on their Windows login

You can add both types of users through the Configure User Access wizard or individually (see Add

basic users (on page 163) and Add Windows users (on page 163)).

By grouping users, you can specify rights 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. 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. If you want to use groups, make

sure you add groups before you add users: you cannot add existing users to groups.

Finally, the Administrators group is also listed under Users. This is a default Windows user group for

administration purpose which automatically has access to the Management Application.

Add basic users

When you add a basic user, you create a dedicated surveillance system user account with basic user

name and password authentication for the individual user. Note that creating Windows users provides

better security. 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.

You can add basic users in two ways: One is through the Configure User Access wizard.

Alternatively, add basic users this way:

1. Expand Advanced Configuration, right-click Users, and select Add New Basic User.

2. Specify a user name. Specify a password, and repeat it to be sure you have specified it

correctly. Click OK.

3. Specify General Access and Camera Access properties. These properties determine the rights

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
