Once installation is complete, Orchid Alto VMS is configured with one Alto administrator user by default; this user is created during installation and cannot be removed. Additional users for Orchid Alto VMS can be created with varying levels of privileges through the Users option on the System Menu.
Permissions for Alto users are handled using a combination of the Users and the Permission Groups features. Any Alto user that is configured in the system will be able to sign into Orchid Alto VMS. The user will not have access to any cameras or video, however, until the Administrator assigns them as a member of one or more Permission Groups. (Please refer to the Permission Groups section for details regarding planning and creating Permission Groups.)
*You must be a member of an Administrator group to create and manage users.
*After initial sign in, Administrators should not use the default Admin account. Instead, each Administrator should create an individual User account as part of an Administrator group. If you sign in as the default Administrator, when you sign out, you will automatically sign out any other Administrator users that are signed in with the default Administrator credentials.
*If Orchid Alto VMS is configured to work with one of the external authentication options (such as Azure Active Directory), the Alto Users list may include locally added Alto users, but won’t list individual users from the external authentication sources. This is because all of the external users originate as users that already exist in the external system.
