- Develop a plan for permissions before you start. Ask some basic questions:
- Who needs to have access to everything? That will be your Administrator group.
- Who are your Users and what do they need access to during the course of a normal day?
- Are there any abilities that need to be off-limits to some users?
- Are there any servers or cameras that need to be off-limits to some users?
- Consider using a few standard Permission Groups that may cover a majority of users. (Orchid Fusion VMS Default Permission Groups, as discussed, include the following: Administrator, Viewer, and Live Viewer. These can be used as is, modified, ignored, or deleted.)
- Limit the Administrator group to as few members as possible.
- Refer to your organization’s existing hierarchy or Active Directory to help determine permission levels for different users.
- Don’t over-do it on permissions; grant users the least amount of permissions required to complete job duties.
- Try to design things so that each user is only in one Permission Group.
- If a user is a member of more than one Permission Group, remember that a permission granted in one Permission Group will override a permission revoked in another Permission Group.
- If you create a permission set that grants some abilities to All Servers, All Cameras, that permission set will automatically apply to any new camera you add to the system.
- The Permissions Revoked feature is especially useful when you have a large system of servers and cameras and just one (or a few) that need more restricted access. Instead of granting permissions to a large number of servers and cameras by selecting them one by one, grant the permission to All Servers, All Cameras, then revoke access to a select few.
- The system will allow some strange permission combinations, but it will typically give you hints to avoid them. For example, a Permission Group may have export abilities without playback abilities; this means a user can select and export a segment of recorded video without actually being able to view it until after it’s exported.
