Working with Users
viewLinc 4.0 provides several security options including the
concept of users. Each user has a set of permissions which
are enabled when the user logs in, governing what tasks they
can perform and what parts of viewLinc they can access.
When you install viewLinc, a default “admin” account (user
account with Full Control) is created. The username and
password are both “admin”.
It is important to change the admin password as soon as
possible (see “Editing Users and Passwords” on page 54).
You also need to create accounts for other users, specifying
their login name, their email address and schedule (times
they should receive alarm notification), their security level,
the channels they can see, and their authentication method
(if they will use a viewLinc login or use the same login as their
Windows login).
