User authentication can be configured by the "Administrator" account to be either a local user
or an active directory user.
• Local user: Local user accounts are only stored within a Control Center project file and
may have a password assigned to them, which they will need to enter to open the project.
• Active Directory user: Active directory users have an active directory user name associ-
ated with their account. When opening a project, if the logged-in Windows user's account
is associated with a Control Center project account, the user will be automatically logged
into the project under that name. The local user account may also have a password
assigned to it as an alternative means of accessing it.
Per default, every project has an "Administrator" user account, an "Administrator" user group
that has every privilege, and a "Users" user group that will act as the default group for newly
created users.
Note
If you create a new project, you will automatically be logged in as Adminsitrator.
Note
By default, the Administrator user has no password set. To protect the project from
unauthorized access, always set a strong password for the Administrator.
User accounts must be assigned to a single user group, which may have any number of Vis-
uNet CC permissions assigned to it. The following permissions can be set for a user / user
group:
