Users of Eocortex applications (LS and ST licenses)🔗
To set up the rights of users of the Eocortex system running on LS or ST license, run the Eocortex Configurator, open the Users page and select the Users of Eocortex applications tab.
The tree of the groups and the users
The left part of the window contains a hierarchical tree of groups with the surveillance system users created in them. To configure an existing group or an individual user, select the required item in the list — the settings page of the selected group/user will be displayed in the right part of the window.
For the convenience of finding the necessary groups/users, the search field above the list can be used.
Note
Particularities and limitations of user rights:
The rights are provided only to the entire groups of users and are extended to all the users of the group. Individual users cannot de granted any rights that differ from the rights of the group.
A single user can belong to only one group. A group may not contain users at all, but it is not possible to create a user which does not belong to any group.
Every user is assigned a unique password.
A user can be moved from one group to another, maintaining its password. The rights of the user in this case are modified according to those of the current group.
User groups in Eocortex running on LS or ST licenses have two levels of rights:
Administrators: System administrator access level. This is embedded group. Users of the group can configure the entire system, create, modify and delete other groups and users, view and listen to any cameras both in real time and from the archive. This group and its users can be deleted, provided that at least one user with configuration rights exists.
Operators: Regular system user access level. The rights of group members with this level of access are limited to viewing cameras without access to the system configuration.
Note
The ability to create user groups with partial system configuration rights is available only for Eocortex systems running on Enterprise and ULTRA licenses.
Below is the list of actions available when setting up users of the system. These actions can be performed either from the context menu of the group/user, or using the buttons below the list of users and groups, or via links on the group or user information page. Some actions can be performed in multiple ways, including using hotkeys.
Add group: Opens the window of adding a group.
Add user: Opens the window of adding a user to the selected group.
Add group based on the selected one: Adds a new group with the rights identical to those of the selected group.
Edit: Opens the editing window for the selected group or user.
Delete: Removes the selected group or user from the configuration.
Warning
The settings will come into effect only after they are applied.
