To deploy the Genetec™ Web App, you must first create a Web App Server role.

Before you begin

What you should know

  • When the Web App Server role is created, it’s deployed to the primary server. It’s recommended to move additional Web App Server roles to an expansion server.
  • If you install Security Center 5.13 or later on your primary server, you must host the Web App Server role on a server with Security Center 5.13 or later installed. If the role is hosted on an expansion server running a version of Security Center earlier than 5.13, the Genetec Web App will be unavailable to users.

Procedure

  1. From the Config Tool homepage, open the System task and click the Roles view.
  2. Click Add an entity () and then click Web App Server ().
  3. If you have multiple servers, on the Specific info page, select a server.
  4. On the Basic information page, enter a name and description for the role.
  5. If there is a Partition field, select the partition that the role belongs to.
    Partitions determine which Security Center users have access to this entity. Only users who have been granted access to the partition can see this role.
  6. Click Next > Create > Close.
    The Web App Server role () is created.
