Before Creating User Accounts

Where we are, if using Admin software

At this point, a Multi System Administrator (Multi SA) using Admin software has:

Obtained or created a Multi Central database (Multi db). See Obtaining a Multi db, on p. 232.

Created at least one site. You can still create user accounts before sites; without a site, users will not be able to do much more than open View. Sees Naming / Renaming a Site, on p. 24.

- and -

Added the password to the Administrator account. Highly recommended by Honeywell, though optional; see Administrator Password, on p. 176.

Where we are, if using LocalView, onsite

At this point, a Multi SA using LocalView has:

Added the password to the Administrator account. This is highly recommended by Honeywell, though optional; see Administrator Password, on p. 176.

What you need from your security officer

Before adding accounts, your Multi SA may need to consult your organization’s security personnel, to find out if:

The Multi installation will be "open" or if it needs security. See Security Options, on p. 161.

Operators are required to use passwords. See User Password, p. 176.

Operators should have different profiles in their user accounts. See Rights of User Accounts, on p. 178.

All operators can access Multi-Media site and operate a Multi-Media unit. See Right to Access a Site, p. 182.

Default User

"Administrator" accounts

Admin software and LocalView each have a default, permanent account, named: “Administrator”. These accounts cannot be removed or modified; however, Honeywell recommends that you add a password to them, if they are in use. If very few users (1 or 2) are using the Multi-Media unit(s) in your organization, you may not need to create other user accounts.

Admin software's remote "Administrator" account

The Administrator account in Admin software grants a remote operator access to every Rapid Eye unit in your organization. Users of this account can also use every function in Admin and View software. If a unit's management of accounts is "central", the Administrator account in Admin software replaces the one in LocalView.

LocalView's local "Administrator" account

The Administrator account in LocalView grants an onsite operator access to one Rapid Eye unit in your organization. Users of this account can also use every function in LocalView software.
