Manage user access wizard: Basic and Windows Users

Active Directory^® is supported in XProtect Professional only.

You can add client users in two ways. You can combine these if you need to.

Name	Description
Basic user	Create a dedicated surveillance system user account with basic user name and password authentication for each individual user.
Windows user	Import users defined locally on the server or from Active Directory, and authenticate them based on their Windows login.

You must define users as local PC users on the server and disable simple file sharing on the server.

Add Basic users

Specify a user name and password, and click the Add Basic User button. Repeat as required.

Add Windows users

Click Add Windows User... to open the Select Users or Groups dialog. You can only make selections from the local computer, even if you click the Locations... button.
In Enter the object names to select, enter the user name(s), then use the Check Names feature to verify the user name. If you enter several user names, separate each name with a semicolon. Example: Brian; Hannah; Karen; Wayne.
When done, click OK.

Important: When a user who has been added from a local database logs in with a client, the user 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, not: PC001/USER001. The user should, of course, still specify a password and any relevant server information.
