4.5 USER MANAGEMENT
The default user account on CMS is the Administrator account. This account is the only
pre-configured user and can control or view any aspect of any connected system. The
administrator may set up “normal user” accounts with varying levels of access and control
including what systems they can monitor, PTZ control, which alarms they will see, recorded
file access and other aspects.
Once created, a user’s account - and its
privileges - can be changed or removed by
the administrator.

long and can only contain alpha numeric
characters and no spaces.
Setting User Access

it will have specific privileges assigned

PTZ and play back or back up video from the
DVRs.
Other functions, such as locally recording
onto the computer, configuring the DVR and
etcetera are not granted.
The administrator account can add access
beyond that already given, or rights can be
removed, such as making certain cameras
unavailable to a specific user.
Permissions are granted or removed by
checking or unchecking boxes in the
expanding menu located in the right-hand
portion of the
User Manager window.

components of each connected system can
be selected for aspect with the settings being
customizable for each individual user.
PASSWORDS
The administrators password can be

Password button. You will need to enter
the current password and then the desired
password twice to make the change.
To change the password of a normal user,
you will have to log into that account and
press the Change User Password button.
In the event that a normal user forgets their password, clicking on the Change User
Password button will reset that user’s password to the default 123456. After which, the user
will need to log in to change to their desired password.

Deleting a user account is as simple as selecting that user from the user list and then clicking
on the Delete User button. Confirm the decision in the pop-up window and the user account
will be removed.
