There are two possibl e methods of inpu tting users in to the system.
When using local authentication (see page 44), users and gr oups
are created in the OmniView IP 5000HQ GUI. When using an LDAP
authentication serve r (see page 46), use rs and groups a re imported
from a Windows Active Dir ectory. With both authentication me thods,
an administrator can grant users different acce ss permissions as follows:
administrator – An administrator can view, modify, manage, and
control all OmniView IP 5000HQ Manager configuration settings,
including creating new users.
User – A user cannot access or change any of the OmniView IP
5000HQ Manager conf iguration settin gs. When a user logs in, only the
targets to which the us er has permiss ion to access ap pear.
View Only – This user can only view permitted target screens witho ut
keyboard and mouse cont rol. A “view only” indicator appea rs on
the viewer’s local mouse p ointer. View only has no effect on
Access Services.
With local authenticat ion, once you have c reated users you can form them
into groups. This makes management chan ges easier by, for ex ample,
adding or deleting permitted targets per group rathe r than per individual
user. Creating groups is explained in the “Creating a user group” secti on
on page 19.
In LDAP mode, go to the “G eneral tab” sect ion below.
To create a new user (in loc al authentication mode):
1. From the “Management” menu, select “Users”. The “Users” page
appears showing the de fault administrato r (admin) at the top of the list;
see Figure 14.
