Users/Groups/Policies Introduction

Users

The users are the individual accounts that have access to a realm. To have permissions in a realm they need to be in a group. One user can be a member of several groups

When a realm is created the first user that is created within it is called the SUPERUSER. It is the only user in the system who cannot be limited by resources or functionality in the system

↓

Groups

Groups are users that are separated into different sets of access credentials. Each group can be set to have its own specific permissions. This makes it easy to change multiple user’s permissions all in one sweep. These permissions are called Authorization Policies

User must be assigned to at least one group in order to have access to system resources

↓

Authorization Policies

These are the rights that are given to each user/group in a realm. They can be specifically set so that some groups may have full, partial, or selective access to functions of a realm. These permissions are granted using statements

Zones

Zones allow for easy device assignment with policies. By segmenting the full set of available deceives into smaller consumable segments/zones, an admin can easily set policies to many devices all at once.

One camera can be assigned to only one zone

IMPORTANT NOTE: Zones are exposed for the end-users in the way very similar to "tags", but as read-only "pseudo-tags" (so that security risk is not created by allowing users to alter zones and permissions in result of that) - from this standpoint zones are useful in filters and hierarchies
