After upgrading a Security
Center 5.0, 5.1,
or 5.2 system that uses multiple partitions to 5.7, you might
have to grant access rights over the Public partition to certain users for them to
have all the access rights they need in 5.7. This does not apply
if you are upgrading from 5.3 and later to 5.7.
What you should know
If the
Public partition is the only partition in your previous system, then
everything is migrated to the
root partition in
5.7,
and the partitions are hidden. If other partitions exist in your previous system, the
Public partition is migrated with the following differences:
- Users who were not accepted users of the Public partition in 5.x will
have no access to the Public partition in 5.7.
- You can rename, modify and delete the Public partition in 5.7.
Procedure
-
Identify the users and user groups that need to refer to entities found in the
Public partition who are not authorized users of that
partition.
You may have schedule entities in the Public partition that only
administrators are allowed to modify. Other users may only need to refer to
these schedules to configure access rules or motion detection on cameras. In a
5.0, 5.1, or 5.2 system, those users do not need to be accepted users of the
Public partition, but in 5.3 and later, they do.
If you have no such users in your system, no further action is
required.
-
Open the User management task.
-
Create a user group and name it PublicPartitionUsers (or any other name
easy to remember), and grant this user group access rights over the Public
partition.
Do not create this user group under any parent user group and do not grant it
any privileges.
-
Click the Properties tab and add to the user group, the
users and user groups that need to refer to the entities found in the Public
partition that you identified earlier.
-
Click Apply.
