VideoXpert® Professional v 3.17 Operations Manual

Appendix A:Working With Permissions
Permissions define the actions a user can perform within the system. Where necessary, permissions are
defined in a parent-child hierarchy; to assign a child permission, you must first define the parent
permission.
Some features are not mapped to an obvious permission; in some cases, a feature might require
compounding permissions. For example, users may have the “Place Cameras on Map” permission.
However, users must also possess the “View Video Sources” permission for cameras they want to place
in order to view video thumbnails and verify that they are placing cameras in the right locations on the
map. Pay attention to compound or complex cases listed below to ensure that your users have the
permissions they require to perform their surveillance roles within VideoXpert.
Understanding Permission Resource Restrictions
Permissions grant access to resources. Some permissions allow all-or-nothing access, using the Allow
All Resources setting; some permissions allow you to select the resources to which a user has access
using the Allow Selected Resources or Allow All Resources Except Selected settings. Some
permissions can Match Parent Resources.
l
If available and selected, Match Parent Resources assigns the same resource to the selected
permission as is assigned to its parent.
l
Allow All Resources indicates that all resources are accessible by the permission. If the
permission does not support restrictions, but is an “on/off” permission, it is the only resource
option.
For example, selecting Allow All Resources for the View Video Sources permission grants a
user access to view live video from all video sources within VideoXpert. If that same user was
restricted to Allow Selected Resources for the Use PTZ Mode permission, then the user would
be able to view video from all cameras but could only initiate PTZ controls for the cameras to
which he or she had access.
l
Allow Selected Resources indicates that the user can access all selected resources covered by
that permission.
l
Allow All Resources Except Selected indicates that the user can access all resources covered
by that permission except those that are selected.
Using Supervision and Reports Permissions
Supervision and Report permissions provide access to supervisors checking user activities auditing the
system. These permissions are not hierarchical.
