Milestone Central 3.7 - Manual (Page 40)

Milestone XProtect 3.7; Administrator’s Manual
Groups can contain any number of users. Note that a user can be a member of more than
one group. For instance, an organization’s security manager could be a member of the
organization’s Management Group as well as the organization’s Security Staff Group. The
number of groups in an organization may vary from one or two to occasionally several
hundreds, depending on the structure of the organization.
Role Concept
In Central, roles determine users' rights.
• Default Administrator Role: By default Central has an administrator role, called admin.
Users with the admin role have access to the full set of configuration features in Central.
Users with the admin role are able to create other roles on Central. Users with the admin
role also have access to viewing operational status and alarm information from all cameras
and other devices on servers connected to Central.
• Other Roles: Users who have another role than the admin role will always have more
limited access rights. For more information about how to create other roles, as well as
which access rights it is possible to specify for such roles, see page 45.

Importing Users
XProtect Central users are primarily imported from Active Directory. In order to be able to import
users through the Active Directory service, a server with Active Directory installed and acting as
domain controller must be available on your network. Read more on page 39. If you do not wish to
use Active Directory when importing users into XProtect Central, read If Not Using Active Directory
on page 43 before continuing.
