Setting Access Rights And Passwords
4 SYSTEM CONFIGURATION
4.1 Setting Access Rights And Passwords
4.1.1 Defining Access Rights For MxEasy
You will have access to all functions and authorizations (automatic administrator mode) the
first time you launch MxEasy on a computer. If several users are going to work with MxEasy
and you do not want every user to have unlimited access to all of MxEasy’s functions, you
can use predefined access levels (administrator, owner, user, guest) to limit access rights
for each computer.
An access level is activated automatically for the computer currently being used if you
enter a password for this access level. Please note that passwords can only be set up in
the Administrator access level.
1. Open the authentication window via the File | Authenticate menu.
2.
Click on the access level that you want. The “Change Password“ window opens.
3. Enter a new password and repeat the password. The selected access level
is set on the computer currently being used.
The individual access levels have the following access rights:
• Administrator: You have access to all functions and settings of MxEasy with
the Administrator access level. In particular, this allows you to add new
cameras to MxEasy and remove existing cameras from the software. This
access level is the only one that allows you to set up and change passwords.
• Owner: You have access to all of the functions available for the User access
level, as well as changing image settings.
• User: You have access to the recorded event sequences in addition to the
functions available for the Guest access level.
•
Guest: You can access live views of all cameras and save snapshots with this access level.
To change an existing access level, open the window for setting access levels via the File |
Authenticate menu and enter the administrator password.
Automatic Authentication On Launch
If an access level was set for a computer, then the password must be entered every time the
program launches. You can automate this. To do this, open the “General“ tab in the Tools
| Preferences menu and activate the Automatic Authentication checkbox and select the
appropriate access level. The next time the program launches, it will start up at this access
level without a password prompt.
