Add Windows users

When you add Windows users, you import users defined locally on the server and authenticate them based on their Windows login. This generally provides better security than the basic user concept, and it is the method Milestone recommends. If you want to include users in groups, make sure you add required groups before you add users. You cannot add existing users to groups.

Add Windows users in two ways: One is through the Manage user access wizard. Alternatively, add Windows users this way:

1. Expand Advanced Configuration, right-click Users, and select Add New Windows User. This opens the Select Users or Groups dialog.

   the Locations... button.

2. In the Enter the object names to select box, type the relevant user name(s), then use the Check Names feature to verify it. If you type several user names, separate each name with a semicolon. Example: Brian; Hannah; Karen; Wayne
3. When done, click OK.
4. Specify General Access and Camera Access properties. These properties determine the rights of the user.
5. Click OK.
6. Save your configuration changes by clicking Save in the yellow notification bar in the upper-right corner of the Management Application.

Users added from a local database logging in with a client should not specify any server name, PC name, or IP address as part of the user name. Example of a correctly specified user name: USER001. Example of an incorrectly specified user name: PC001/USER001. The user should still specify a password and any required server information.
