Pearl Mini User Guide User administration
User administration
Pearl Mini has three configured users: admin, operator, and viewer. By default, none of these users have
passwords assigned. For higher security, we recommend setting admin, operator and viewer-level passwords
on Pearl Mini.
Topics include:
l
User types and privileges
l
Set or change user passwords
l
Remove user passwords
l
Overcome lost passwords
l
Configure LDAP user authentication
l
Change the logged-in user
l
Restrict viewers by IP address
User types and privileges
There are three Pearl Mini user levels:
l
Administrator
l
Operator
l
Viewer
No password is assigned to these user levels by default and you cannot change the default user names or
disable these user levels. When you log in to Pearl Mini, you must log in as one of these three user levels.
Private profiles with individually set passwords are not used.
You can set an access password for each user level using the Admin panel.
For higher security, we recommend assigning passwords to at least the Administrator and
Operator levels because those have access to the Admin panel and can reconfigure Pearl Mini, see
Set or change user passwords .
When logged in to the Admin panel, the user level is displayed at the top right corner of the screen.
