Rights to protect archive files from overwriting

In Axxon PSIM, archive recording is performed on a loop (see the General information on video archiving). Due to this, old archive recordings can be replaced by new ones. Therefore, by default, the operator has the right to protect these files from overwriting.

Protected files are moved to the PROTECTED folder in the VIDEO folder on the disk with the archive. When you remove file protection, it is moved back to the folder from which it was taken if it still exists. If you have already removed this folder since all files in it were overwritten, the file remains in the PROTECTED folder but isn't displayed in the surveillance monitor. Later, this file is deleted by loop recording.

To limit the rights for protecting archive files from overwriting, do the following:

1. Go to the Users tab in the System settings window (1).
   
2. In the objects tree located under the User rights button, select the same-name object corresponding to the operator access rights, which must be changed (2).
   The settings panel of the User rights object is displayed in the right part of the System settings window.
3. Clear the Allow protecting files from overwriting checkbox (3) if the operator must not have the ability to protect files from overwriting.
4. Clear the Allow removing file protection checkbox (4) if the operator must not have the ability to remove file protection.
5. Click the Apply button (5).

Configuring operator rights for protecting archive files from overwriting is complete.
