User Accounts and User Groups
The User Accounts and User Groups task lets you create and manage user accounts and account groups that define the user's access to the devices that MarkVision manages.
To access the User Accounts and User Groups task, select User Accounts and User Groups from the
All Tasks list on the MarkVision home screen.
MarkVision Professional is shipped without any pre-existing accounts. You do not have to add accounts to use MarkVision, but it is recommended that you at least create an administrator account to ensure the security of your devices.
Only administrators or designated users can add or delete accounts. As people join or leave your staff, you may need to create or update MarkVision user accounts. If you do not want a specific account to have full administrative rights, you can either specify the appropriate privileges when the account is created or assign the account to a group that contains rights to only the tasks you allow.
To create an administrator account
- In the Accounts section of the Users table, click Add.
- Enter the administrator account name and password.
- Click OK.
Note:
Before you create user accounts, you must create an administrator account. The first time you attempt to create a user account, the user account wizard will automatically attempt to establish a Master Administrator Account.
