Link a B2B user and cameras

A created B2B user should be linked to specific cameras via private folders or addresses.

This option is only available when addresses are created in the system and linked to private folders, which in turn contain cameras.

Link with private folders

To link a B2B user with a camera, that is located in a private folder, follow the steps:

Navigate through the Users section > B2B Users. Select a relevant user to access their card. For this, select the ID for this user or select the View (eye) icon.
On the opened page, under Private folders (private access), select Attach folder.
On the next opened page, select a relevant folder from the Private folders drop-down list.
To complete the action, select Attach folder.
Repeat the steps if the users should be linked to multiple folders.

As a result:

The attached folder will be listed under Private folders (private access).
The cameras that are added to this folder will be automatically linked to the user. To view the details about the linked cameras, select the View icon of the selected private folder.

Next, synchronize the introduced changes with the video surveillance platform.

You should perform synchronization in cases, when a folder was initially associated with a user, and only then was a camera linked to a folder.

If a camera was initially linked to a private folder and synchronized, and only then was the folder associated with the user, changes will automatically synchronize with the video surveillance platform.

To perform synchronization, call out the context menu at the top-right of the page and select Sync.
