The Administrators section lists the administrators who manage the system.
You can search for an administrator by login or name.
On this page, you can perform the following actions:
-
Create an administrator account.
-
View, edit, and delete existing administrator accounts.
-
Mass password reset for administrator accounts.
Mass password reset
For centralized password management, the Reset passwords button is available at the top‑right corner of the Administrators page. This button enables simultaneous password resets for all administrator accounts, excluding the one initiating the action.
Visibility of the Reset passwords button is controlled by the permission Administrators > Reset administrator passwords.
Password reset behavior:
-
After a password reset, administrators are redirected to the login page to enter a new password.
-
If any administrators are logged in at the time of the reset, they are forcibly signed out and redirected to the login page to re‑authenticate.
Add an administrator account
To create a new administrator account, follow the steps:
-
Select the Add Admin button.
-
On the page that opens:
-
Enter a full name, login, and password.
-
The Password lifetime toggle allows setting a password expiration period in days. When managing an administrator account, you can update the setting from the Change password tab.
-
In the Role section, you can assign roles to the administrator. The field is optional. Role is a preset collection of permissions. Roles are configured in the Administrator roles section. Role behavior: Selecting a role automatically enables its permissions in Access levels, which can then be fine‑tuned manually by the administrator. When multiple roles are selected, all permissions included in those roles are automatically enabled. For example, if a Cameras role is created for camera access only and an Intercoms role for intercom access only, selecting both will grant the administrator access to both systems.
-
Under Access levels, select permissions to specific functions.
-
Under Cameras for administration, configure access to cameras, intercoms, and media server groups in the relevant sections:
-
Available cameras lists top-level branches of the camera tree. Access is managed at the branch level – selecting a specific branch automatically grants permissions for all cameras nested within that hierarchy. For details on the camera tree management, see the Custom tree view documentation page.
-
Available intercoms lists top-level branches of the intercom tree. Access is managed at the branch level – selecting a specific branch automatically grants permissions for all intercoms nested within that hierarchy. For details on the camera tree management, see the Intercom tree view documentation page.
-
Available MSE groups lists the mediaserver groups. Selecting a specific group automatically grants permissions for all mediaservers nested in it. For details on how to manage mediaserver groups, refer to the Mediaserver groups documentation page.
-
The description of Available MSE groups functionality is provided below.
-
Select the Create button.
Once the account is saved, the assigned role isn’t displayed in the Role field.

-
Access to all mediaservers within those clusters
-
Access to standalone mediaservers not included in any cluster
