You can still access any views under the protected top-level folder, but you cannot create new views
or edit existing views under it.
Your ability to edit views and groups depends on your user rights. Basically, if you can create the view
or group, you can also edit it. Consult your surveillance system administrator if in doubt.
To create a view, you must first have a group to add it to. You can either create a new view in an
existing group or create a new group for the view. To create a view under a shared top-level folder,
you must first create a group within this shared folder.
Tip: A group can contain an unlimited number of views. You can also create any number of subgroups
if required.
