User management is available for the protection of the system configuration and to control video access. The access to both live videos and video recordings can be granted or denied individually and protected with a password for any number of users.

Authentication can be done via Active Directory services.

For the protection of business secrets, personal rights, and ethnic and/or ethical aspects, a so-called panic mode can be activated by every authorized user. In panic mode, only a main responsible person (administrator) is allowed to view the videos. Video sequences, that shall not be viewable for general users, can be locked by the administrator.

The panic mode can be canceled in ibaCapture Manager only by the administrator.
