User Administration

The Networked VGA Grid has three configured users:

 

l

admin

 

l

operator

 

l

viewer

Each VGA Grid HD Encoder has the same three users. The user accounts are not connected and password

changes must be made to each device in the system individually.

By default, none of these users have passwords. For security purposes you should add passwords to the admin

and operator accounts.

Understanding User Privileges

Networked VGA Grid's three user accounts are admin, operator and viewer. The user account names cannot be

changed and the accounts cannot be disabled. By default, none of the accounts have passwords.

Admin

The admin account is the main operator used for all system configuration. This user has access to all options in

the web interface.

Operator

The operator account is a subclass of the admin account. The operator can log in and view all configuration

items but may only make changes to a small number of options. This account is intended for an operator to

start and stop recordings, download recordings, or perform network diagnostics.
