Roles

Define custom role based access for your users.

Accounts

A SEiNG user, with the admin role, has the ability to create additional subaccounts or sub users. By creating additional users, the admin user can decide to delegate a subset of cameras and specify different access roles such as admin, editor or guest.

By creating a subaccount, you have the option to specify the required role that should be sufficient for the user. When the user would log in, the actions which can be executed are limited to the assigned role.

For example, a guest user will not be able to modify any settings or create any alerts. An editor will be able to create alerts etc.

The access and rules for the different standard roles (admin, editor and guest) are defined by the Hub application, and cannot be modified. If you like to have more control over permissions, you’ll need to look into custom roles; read more below.

Custom Roles

Next to admin, editor and guest, you have the option to add your custom role. A custom role gives you more fine-grained user access, which allow you to disable specific function and features, and pages. These custom roles are based on the built-in roles.

If you wish to review or create a new custom role. Log in, then, In the left-hand column, find ‘Roles’ under the management section.

Here you can see generic roles as well as any custom roles you have created.

To view what each role can do, simply left-click the blue button containing an eye.

Page access shows what the role can access within SEiNG, E.G Access to recordings, video wall, analytics, watchlists etc.

Time based access is used to ensure that users only log in when they are meant to log in. (E.G Users can only access SEiNG during work hours 09:00 – 17:00)

The features tab shows whether the role can live view in SD, HD or both. Whether they can/Can’t use PTZ features and whether they can/can’t remotely configure agents.
