To set a seperate user level for specific areas or cameras, you can create overrides for a user, or user group.

What you should know

By default, the general user level applies to PTZ control, bandwidth control, and camera blocking. This level is set individually or inherited from the parent user group. If the general user level does not apply to specific areas or cameras, you can create user-level overrides. These overrides take precedence over the general user level for the cameras you specify. If you override a user level for an area, it applies to all cameras in that area.

Procedure

  1. From the Config Tool homepage, open the User management task.
  2. Select the user or user group to configure, and click the Properties tab.
  3. Set the User level option to Override, and then click Configure user-level overrides.
  4. In the User level overrides dialog box, click Add an item ( ).
  5. Select the area or camera to override, and click OK.
  6. In the Override value column, select a user level that applies to the area or camera.
    Paul is a member of the Operators user group in his company, and he is in charge of monitoring the Montreal Campus. As part of the Operators user group, he has a default user level of 50. Because he is in charge of monitoring the Montreal Campus, he needs a higher priority to control the PTZ cameras in that area. Therefore, a user level override with the value of 20 is created for him for the Montreal Campus.

  7. (Optional) For Federation™ users only. Enable Ignore the level of the Federation™ user in PTZ priority to prioritize control of federated PTZ cameras only by the user level of the remote user who issued the PTZ commands. The user level of this user is ignored.
  8. Click Save > Apply.
