Device tab (roles)

Available functionality depends on the system you are using. See Product comparison chart for more information.

The Device tab lets you specify which features users/groups with the selected role can use for each device (for example, a camera) or device group in XProtect Smart Client.

Remember to repeat for each device. You can also select a device group, and specify role rights for all the devices in the group in one go.

You can still select or clear such square-filled check boxes, but note that your choice in that case applies for all devices within the device group. Alternatively, select the individual devices in the device group to verify exactly which devices the relevant right applies for.
