Milestone Central 3.7 - Manual (Page 45)

Milestone XProtect 3.7; Administrator’s Manual
The admin role cannot be deleted.
It is possible to edit the admin role, but only in order to change the name of the role from the
default name admin to something else.
For information about adding users and/or groups to the admin role, see Adding a User to a Role
on page 41 and Adding a Group to a Role on page 43. It is recommended that only a few users in
your organization have the admin role.
IMPORTANT: Users who have local administrator rights on the computer on which the XProtect
Central server is installed will always be able to use XProtect Central with the rights of the
administrator role.
Defining a New Role
In XProtect Central, all other roles than the administrator role have limited access to the Client’s
feature set. None of the Client’s configuration features will be available for other roles.
What Are Users with a Non-Administrator Role Able to Do?
Users or groups defined in XProtect Central with a role other than the administrator role will be
able to:
• Connect to the XProtect Central Server with the XProtect Central Client
• View alarms and operational status information from servers and devices to which access
has been defined for the particular role
• Use maps, the visual representations allowing an intuitive overview of surveillance system
installations in the XProtect Central Client
• Print reports containing information about alarms
• If defined for role: Manage alarms (change states and priorities of alarms, re-delegate
alarms to other users, temporarily disable new alarms)
• If defined for role: Acknowledge and temporarily snooze operational status information in
the XProtect Central Client
• If defined for role: View video (recorded video, live video, and single images) in the
XProtect Central Client
• If defined for role: Change state (for example from New to Assigned) of several alarms
simultaneously (otherwise state must be changed on a per-alarm basis)
• If defined for role: Manage bookmarks (i.e. select and use individual images from exact
times within a video sequence)
