Managing Roles
A role is a set of permissions that determines which devices, services, and features a user can access. Users can be assigned multiple roles. The
DVR5100 Remote Client comes with four default roles, but allows you to create an unlimited number of roles (refer to Figure 90).
Figure 90. Setup: Roles
USING A DEFAULT ROLE
The DVR5100 Remote Client comes with four preconfigured roles. You can use these roles, edit them to create your own roles, or create new
roles. Since each role has access to different system features, you can assign each user to one or more roles.
ADMINISTRATOR
The Administrator role provides full permission to access and modify all DVR5100 remote client features, and to configure and operate the
DVR5100 (refer to Table K).
