Configure user permissions
Go to Configuration > Security > User permissions to view a list of the users and groups that have been added to AXIS Camera
Station.
Note
Administrators of the computer on which the AXIS Camera Station server is installed are automatically given administrator
privileges to AXIS Camera Station. You can't change or remove the administrators group's privileges.
Before a user or group can be added, the user or group must be registered on the local computer or have an Windows Active Directory
user account. Using Windows Active Directory, a high level of security can be implemented.
When a user is part of a group, the user gets the highest role permission that is assigned to the individual and the group.
When a user is part of a group, the user gets the access granted as an individual and also receives the rights as part of a group. For
example, a user is given access to camera X as an individual. The user is also a member of a group. The group is given access to
cameras Y and Z. The user then has access to cameras X, Y and Z.
If there are security concerns regarding the access to the computer by a designated AXIS Camera Station user, create a standard user
account that you then use for access to Axis Camera Station. You can then elevate the account to administrator in Configuration >
Security > User permissions.
