If the plugin role's Arming profiles tab is missing from Security Desk or Config Tool, then the plugin is not installed on your local machine.

To help you troubleshoot this issue, refer to the possible causes and their respective solutions in this section.
NOTE: It is a best practice to make sure that all servers and workstations being used for BuyTime are running the same version of the plugin.

Possible symptoms:

  • In Config Tool, you see the plugin in the Plugins task, and you can add a new plugin role, but the role is missing the Arming profiles tab.
  • In Security Desk, you cannot find the BuyTime user activity report.

Description of cause: The plugin is not installed on the local computer, the license (certificate) is invalid, or you are missing required user privileges.

Solution 1: Install the plugin on your local computer.

Solution 2: Confirm that the plugin is installed on your Security Center computer: from the home page in Security Desk or Config Tool, click About > Installed components and check the list for entries that begin with Genetec.Plugins.

Solution 3: Confirm that your system has a license (certificate) for the plugin: from the home page in Security Desk or Config Tool, click About > Certificates, check the list for the name of the plugin, and make sure that there are enough certificates available.
