System: User - Swann NVR-7085 models Instruction Manual

ADVANCED CONFIGURATION
EN

System: User

User Name: Select a name for the user you want to define.
The best usernames are short, to the point, are relevant to the
specific user they're intended for, are easily memorable and
hard to guess.
Password: A password can be any combination of numbers (0
though 9) between one and eight characters long.
Confirm Password: Must exactly match the password for the
definintion of a new user to be successful.
Level: There are two default levels of access to the NVR -
Guests and Operators.
Guest: By default, a Guest user has access to the live images
on the NVR and can search through recorded events. They
cannot change any settings or configure the NVR in any way.
Operator: The default permissions of an Operator allow them to
access and configure all aspects of the NVR.
The System: User menu is where you can define
and configure the different levels of access various
users have to the NVR.
We suggest that at minimum the admin account be
password protected, as it has access to all aspects
of the NVR's operation.
To add additional users, choose Add.
To remove a user, choose Delete.
To customize a user's level of access, choose
Modify.
You cannot modify the access level of the default
admin account - they can do everything. This
is to prevent an unfortunate incident where, for
example, no user has the permissions required to
change another user's permissions - which could
lead to the NVR being, in at least some senses,
inoperable.
You can easily customize the level of access each individual
user has. Simply choose the Permission button on either the
Add User or Modify to set the specific access for the user you
want. The Permission menu has two tabs - Configuration and
Operation.
Configuration: The configuration page specifies which menu(s)
the user can access. There is no hierarchy and any combination
of menus can be selected (although some combinations would
make little sense in practice).
Operation: You can select which channels the user has access
to, and what they can do with them. For example, you could set
a user to have permission to view all channels in live viewing
mode, but only playback channels 2 and 4.
Press the Set button next to each type of access to select
specific channels that the user can access.
Also, this page contains permissions for HDD Management
and Shutdown. These are surprisingly powerful levels of
access: between them, a user can remove all footage from a
NVR's hard drive and turn the NVR off. Be careful assigning
these permissions!
