Management Client elements

Users with local machine administrator rights on the computer running the management server

automatically have administrator rights on the management server. Only users whom you trust as

administrators of your system should have local machine administrator rights on the computer running

the management server. You cannot turn this off. You add users and groups to the Administrators

role just as with any other role. See Assign and remove users and groups to/from roles (see

"Assign/remove users and groups to/from roles" on page 176).

In addition to the Administrators role, you can add as many roles as required to suit your needs. You

may, for example, have different roles for users of XProtect Smart Client depending on which cameras

you want them to access or similar restrictions. To set up roles in your system, expand the Security >

Roles.

About rights of a role

Available functionality depends on the XProtect Advanced VMS you are using. See the Product

comparison chart (on page 21) for more information.

When you create a role in your system, you can give the role a number of rights to the system

components or features that the relevant role can access and use. You may, for example, want to

create roles that only have rights to functionality in XProtect Smart Client or other Milestone viewing

clients, with the rights to view only certain cameras. If you create such roles, these roles should not

have rights to access and use the Management Client, but only have access to some or all

functionality found in XProtect Smart Client or other clients. To address this, you may want to set up a

role that has some or most typical administrator rights, for example, the rights to add and remove

cameras, servers and similar functionality.

In previous versions of the XProtect Advanced VMS, your system presented a single solution to be an

administrator for your system settings in the Management Client. This was through a default full

administrator role with rights to see and change all settings in the system.

From XProtect Corporate 2014 and onwards, you can create roles that have some or most rights of a

system administrator. This may, for example, be relevant if your organization wants to separate

between between people who can administrate a subset of the system and people who can

administrate the entire system. The feature allows you to provide differentiated administrator

permissions to access, edit or change a large variety of system functions, for example, the right to edit

the settings for servers or cameras in your system. You can also reflect the same limitations in the

user interface of the Management Client for each role by associating the role with a Management

Client profile that has the removed the corresponding system functions from the user interface. See

About Management Client profiles (on page 128) for information.

To give a role such differentiated administrator rights, the person with the default full administrator role

must set up the role under Security > Roles > Info tab > Add new. When you set up the new role,

you can then associate the role with your own profiles must similarly to when you set up any other role

in the system or use the system's default profiles. For more information, see Add and manage a role

(on page 175).

Once you have specified what profiles you want to associate the role with, go to the Overall Security

tab to specify the rights of the role.

The rights you can set for a role are different between XProtect Corporate and XProtect Expert. While

you can give all available rights to a role in XProtect Corporate, you can only set non-administrator

rights in XProtect Expert.
