Pelco dx8100 manual Modifying User Access Rights, Adding NEW Users

MODIFYING USER ACCESS RIGHTS

The Admin user can alter default access rights of lower level users. In this case, any permission granted to a lower level user, must first be granted to all other higher level users. For example, export rights must first be granted to the Standard user before they can be granted to a Restricted user.

Click the user group buttons to enable/disable the access right for each access category. The access right category is enabled when the button’s text is red (permission granted), and it is disabled when the button’s text is white (permission not granted). Click a button to toggle the access right, on and off. Repeatedly clicking the Camera Security button cycles through the security levels (none, low, medium, and high).

To modify a user’s access rights:

1.On the DX8100 toolbar, click (icon). The Setup dialog box opens to the Camera page.

2.Click (icon). The User page is displayed.

3.Do one of the following:

4.Click Apply.
