General access (properties)

Specify the following settings for General access when you add or edit basic users, Windows users or groups:

Client access settings

Live	Enables access to the Live tab in XProtect Smart Client.
Playback	Enables access to the Playback tab in XProtect Smart Client.
Setup	Enables access to setup mode in XProtect Smart Client.
Edit shared views	Enables the user to create and edit views in shared groups in XProtect Smart Client. Every user can access views placed in shared groups. If a user/group does not have this right, shared groups are protected, indicated by a padlock icon in XProtect Smart Client.
Edit private views	Enables the user to create and edit views in private groups in XProtect Smart Client. Views placed in private groups can only be accessed by the user who created them. If a user/group does not have this right, private groups will be protected, indicated by a padlock icon in XProtect Smart Client. Denying users the right to create their own views may make sense in some cases, for example, to limit bandwidth use. For more information about shared and private views, see the separate XProtect Smart Client documentation.

Clear the Live, Playback and Setup check boxes to disable the user/group's ability to use XProtect Smart Client. You can use this as a temporary alternative to deleting the user/group if a user/group is not going to use an account for a period of time.

Management Application access

Administrator Access

Enables the user to access and work with the Management Application.

If you have more than one Administrator member, you can clear the check box to ensure that other administrators cannot access the Management Application.

This user/group requires authorization from another user to log in	Enables a restriction on the user/group which means that a second user must authorize the log in before the user/group can log in to XProtect Smart Client or the Management Application.
This user/group can authorize logins from other users	Enables the right for this user/group to authorize the log in for other users in XProtect Smart Client or the Management Application.

At least one person on the system must have a full administrator access with no authorization of log in. This is why the administrator should ensure that all proper user rights are given to other users of the system. If there are no users to authorize, the This user/group requires authorization from another user to log in checkbox is not available and you cannot change its settings.

If there is only one user on the system, the This user/group can authorize logins from other users check box is not available and you cannot change its settings.
