If you give Viewers the privilege, Operators will also have the ability to control the Network Camera through the main page. (Please refer to Configuration on page 31).
Allow anonymous viewing: If you check this item, any client can access the live stream without entering a User ID and Password.
Account Management
Administrators can add up to 20 user accounts.

Access rights are sorted by user privilege (Administrator, Operator, and Viewer). Only administrators can access the Configuration page. Although operators cannot access the Configuration page, they can use the URL Commands to get and set the value of parameters. For more information, please refer to URL Commands of the Network Camera on page 115. Viewers access only the main page for live viewing.
Here you also can change a user’s access rights or delete user accounts.
