User Account Management

If more than one person will be using the Observer, you may wish to set up varying access levels for those individuals. The User Management Interface is a flexible tool for controlling user and group access to the Observer system. It allows the Volicon Administrator to create permission based “Groups” then create/add end users to each group based on the tasks allowed for each individual. Every action on the Volicon system is tied to a permission. As an admin you can create as many groups and end users as you wish, but any individual can associated with only one permission group

Access User Management through the Web client interface (see Observer User Manual for the login).

Select <Maintenance>→<Users> from the left menu.

A user added to the <Administrators> group will have full privileges and full access to all video content. Volicon recommends that you create additional groups with selected privileges for regular users. The <Create a new group> button is located above the group list, The <Edit group>, <Delete group> and <Add new user> icons are located next to group names as shown in the figure above.

Note

Administrator group access privileges are preconfigured and cannot be changed or deleted.
