It is important that all roles, to have access to the Management Server, enable the
Connect security permission, located in Role Settings > Management Server > Overall
Security tab (roles) on page 495.
You can also reflect the same limitations in the user interface of the Management Client for each role by
associating the role with a Management Client profile that has the removed the corresponding system
functions from the user interface. See Management Client profiles (explained) on page 69 for information.
To give a role such differentiated administrator permissions, the person with the default full administrator role
must set up the role under Security > Roles > Info tab > Add new. When you set up the new role, you can then
associate the role with your own profiles must similarly to when you set up any other role in the system or use
the system's default profiles. For more information, see Add and manage a role on page 271.
Once you have specified what profiles you want to associate the role with, go to the Overall Security tab to
specify the permissions of the role.
The permissions you can set for a role are different between your products. You can only
give all available permissions to a role in XProtect Corporate.
Privacy masking (explained)
Privacy masking (explained)
With privacy masking, you can define which areas of the video from a camera you want to cover with privacy
masks when shown in the clients. For example, if a surveillance camera covers a street, you can cover certain
areas of a building (could be windows and doors) with privacy masks, to protect the privacy of residents. In
some countries, this is a legal requirement.
You can specify privacy masks as either solid or blurred. The masks cover both live, recorded, and exported
video.
Privacy masks are applied and locked to an area of the camera image, so the covered area does not follow the
pan-til-zoom movements, but constantly covers the same area of the camera image. On some PTZ cameras,
you can enable position based privacy masking on the camera itself.
There are two types of privacy masks:
l
Permanent privacy mask: Areas with this type of mask are always covered in the clients. Can be used
to cover areas of the video that never requires surveillance, like public areas, or areas where
surveillance is not allowed. Motion detection is excluded from areas with permanent privacy masks
