Configuring System Authorizations
The ViconNet system enables you to configure system authorizations, depending on your organizational
requirements. The authorizations that you configure determine both user access and the authorized system
operations for users according to the group to which you assign them.
Configuring system authorizations consists of defining the groups and users in your system, as described in
the following sections:
• Defining Groups, page 84
• Defining Users, page 87
Users and Groups can only be defined in the Nucleus. The User & Group Management button in the
System Settings window is disabled in all other sites.
After groups and users have been defined, you can define which system operations will be available to
each group of users, per site, as described in Configuring Site Authorization, page 90.
Thereafter, each authorized user can access the system and the ViconNet application, using their assigned
user name and password. The system automatically checks the login information according to the assigned
group and then enables the allowed system operations, which can include:
• Configuring the network setup, as described on page 61.
• Configuring PTZ controls, as described on page 77.
• Viewing and recording live video/audio, as described in Chapter 4, Viewing and Listening to Live
Video/Audio and Chapter 5, Recording Live Video/Audio.
• Playing back recorded video/audio, as described in Chapter 6, Playing Back Recorded Video/Audio.
Access to the available sites and devices (cameras, microphones and so on) is also dependent on the
assigned authorization of each user.
Defining Groups
The ViconNet system enables you to define groups to which you can assign specific users. The purpose of
each group is to categorize specific users so that they can all be assigned the same site authorization
rights. These rights determine the system operations each group can perform.
After defining the groups, you can assign users to the groups, as described in Defining Users, page 87. You
can then configure the site authorization for each group, as described in Configuring Site Authorization,
page 90.
