Explorer will display

Users and Groups
When users are added to the AvigilonControl Center, they are assigned to a group that defines their access
permissions in a Site. Use the Users and Groups dialog box to create and manage users and groups.
Managing Users and Groups Across Multiple Sites
When you have a large organization, you need detailed user access permissions to manage how the system is
used each day.
The Avigilon Control Center system offers several features to help you manage large organizations:
l
Active Directory Support: the system can synchronize with Windows Active Directory to quickly import
large number of users. For more information, see
Importing Active Directory Groups
.
l
Detailed Group Permissions: users must be added to at least one group that defines what they can
access within the system. This includes system features and specific cameras. Only users with "Setup
user and group settings" permission are able to edit other users and groups at all. For more information,
