If the administrator has to confirm the login of users of this role, select the corresponding role in the Supervisor for authorization in client list.
If you need to grant the users in this role permissions only for a certain period of time, select a Time schedule (8) from the list. These users will not be able to use their permissions outside of the selected time schedule.
Configure rights to manage connected Clients' monitors by setting permissions for each Server on an Axxon domain (9). A user who has management permissions for the monitors of a particular Server can manage monitors of any Client connected to that Server.
Set permissions for access to hardware and archives on an Axxon domain (10).
You can set permissions for all Server devices, for a specific device (see the Devices tab) or a group of devices (Groups, see Configuring video camera groups). You cannot switch tabs before you have saved the newly created role. You must save your changes while editing permissions in any tab and then you get access to another tab.
If a camera belongs to different groups that have different access settings, then the last applied access permission is applied. |
