Permissions serve to control exactly which images a user is allowed to see or manage. You can choose one or multiple cameras, and you can choose one or multiple tables.

Camera permissions

Having permission for a specific camera will allow a user to perform all operations his user level allows on that camera, like for example configuring the schedule etc. It does not automatically grant access to the images of the camera. If you want a user to have permission for all of your cameras, you can pick the “All” option.

Table permissions

Any user can only see the images or feeds of the tables they have explicit permission for. A user does not implicitly receive those permissions by receiving a permission for a camera. This allows you to selectively restrict a user from seeing certain images or feeds of a camera. For example, you might decide that this user only has permission fro for the anonymised table, or that they may see all images except for those in original resolution. If you want a user to have access to all images of all cameras they have permission for, you can pick the “All” option.

Important!!

The camera and table permissions are not depending on each other. A user may have permissions for tables of a camera they do not have permission for. In this case, they will not be able to access the images directly, since they cannot browse the camera. However, they will see feeds pointing to that table, and, depending on their user level, may even be able to edit those feeds. If you assign a user permission for all tables, they will be able to see all the feeds, even those belonging to cameras they do not have explicit permission for. Keep this in mind when using the “all” option for table permissions.

User level

While permissions specify which cameras and images a user has access to, the user level specifies what things they can do with these cameras and images. There are 5 user levels available, but only 3 of them are intended to be used by customers. Admins and superusers should only be used by a yellow partner internally. Also, superusers are not allowed to create new admin or superuser accounts.
