Managing Users and Roles
A role is a group of permissions defining abilities and responsibilities within a system. A user must be
assigned at least one role to perform actions within the system.
If you are authenticating using LDAP, you are not required to manage users and roles, but you can in
order to control settings that are not specified in LDAP.
Understanding Internal and Restricted User Accounts
VideoXpert contains some hard-coded user accounts that are integral to the system. You cannot edit,
disable, or delete these accounts, nor can you change roles or permissions for these users. You can,
however, change the password for these accounts in the case of the admin and aggregator accounts, it is
recommended that you change the password from the default.
User Description
admin This is the basic administrative user for VideoXpert. This user account possesses
the “administrator” role, so is granted all available permissions within the system.
internal This role is used internally within the system to perform server-side tasks. It is not
visible in the Users page, under the Users tab.
