    Supervisor confirmation
    Supervisor for acccess to export

    • If the administrator has to confirm the launch of export for users of this role (see
  63. Exporting frames and video recordings
    • Export), select the corresponding role in the list
    • If the administrator has to confirm the login of users of this role (see Starting the client), select the corresponding role in the list
    Note
    titleAttention!
    • If a user belongs to several roles and each of these roles has its own supervisor, the user can receive confirmation to access export or authorization from a single administrator.
      Info
      titleNote

      For example, a user can belong to several roles at the same time: Operator 1, Operator 2, Operator 3.
      Each of these roles has its own supervisor:

      • For Operator 1, the supervisor is Admin 1.
      • For Operator 2, the supervisor is Admin 2.
      • For Operator 3, the supervisor is Admin 3.

      The user needs to receive confirmation from only one of the three administrators.

    • If a user belongs to a regular role (such as Operator) and an administrator role at the same time, supervisor confirmation isn't required, provided that the administrator role can be used as supervisor.
      Info
      titleNote

      For example, a user belongs to the Operator 1 and Admin 1 roles at the same time. If Admin 1 is selected as supervisor in the Supervisor confirmation settings, the user doesn't need to receive confirmation to access export or authorization.
