Honeywell K14392V1 manual Adding an Account in LocalView, User Groups, Updating an Account

System Administrator’s Guide

User Groups

To create a group of users, assign the same user-account to different users. To do so, View operators either:

•Use an account on based on another. View Operators each have their own account, but the rights, sites and so on, of the accounts are common. See Granting Rights, p. 158.

•Share the same account. Add an account as explained earlier, in section Adding an Account on p.155; then assign the same account to different staff.

Updating an Account

1.Using Admin, click the Users tab. (There is no need to click it if the tab is already displayed.)

2.Double-click the name of the account. You can also select the user account and do one of the following:

•Click on the toolbar.

•Click Update on the Actions menu.

•Press the F12 key.

3.Edit the user account information.

4.Click Save and Close. If Central User Management is enabled and the operator account will be used to operate the unit onsite, using LocalView, use View software to update security on the unit(s) to which the account will grant access. See Updating Security on a Multi-Media Unit, p. 131.

Adding an Account in LocalView

1.Using LocalView, click the Configuration tab.

2.Select User Management.

3.Click Add New User.

4.Type a name in the User Name box. If the name is already used on the unit, you will be asked to use another.

5.You have the option of adding a password to the account. To do so, type a password in the Password box; type the password again, but in the Confirm Password box. Some characters cannot be used in a password, such as a double-quote ( “ ). If one is typed, nothing happens.

6.You have the option of modifying the account’s rights. See Granting Rights, below.

7.Click Save.

Account for accessing one unit

Accounts created using LocalView can access only the Multi-Media unit running LocalView.
