The user management allows the creation of different user accounts. The user management supports users and user groups.

If the computer where ibaCapture Manager is running is joined to a domain, it is possible to add users and user groups that belong to that domain.

Each user account can be assigned different access rights to videos and/or cameras. Only one administrator user (“admin”) exists, which always has all rights. It is the only user that is not subject to any restrictions and can add or delete other users as well as change their user rights. The name "admin" cannot be changed.

The user management system can be controlled via the following commands:

	Disable the user management system
	Add user
	Add user group
	Delete user management
	Load user management (a user management configuration file can be imported by loading the corresponding ccu file)
	Save user management (the user management configuration file can be saved (*.ccu))
	Apply user management

These commands are available if the User management branch is selected in the server configuration tree, and when the Users and User groups branches are selected.

The menu in the ribbon changes to Local, when a single user or user group is selected, see chapter Manage users.

Save/load user management file

The user management configuration can be saved and loaded as a ccu file. When importing a user management configuration to another (or the original) server, all non-applicable permissions (e.g., permissions for non-existing cameras) are removed from the new configuration. Only the admin user and users who have the security administration permission can save, load or delete the user administration configuration.
