Manage Operators

In addition to administrators, add, edit, or delete operator accounts with limited permissions. Operators can manage certain camera features on behalf of administrators.

Also add an ONVIF-only account that the NVR/VMS uses for ONVIF and RTSP authentication. An ONVIF-only account is required to enable ONVIF Profile S fallback.

Add operators in the following situations.

  • Assign additional staff for camera operation.

  • Grant only specific permissions.

  • When multiple people must collaborate to manage the camera.

  • Grant team members read-only or edit permissions.

Info

  • Add up to 10 operators.

  • Operators cannot add other operators. Only administrators can add operators.

  • Operator passwords follow the same rules as administrator passwords. For more information, refer to Update Administrator Account Password.

  • Each operator can change only their own account information.

Operator permission types​

Select one of the following 3 permissions when adding an operator.

  • Read Only: View all camera settings and logs; cannot change settings.

  • Read Write: Access all menus except the Administrator menu and change camera settings. Operators can change their own password but not other operators' or administrators' passwords.

  • ONVIF Only: A device-only account that the NVR/VMS uses for ONVIF and RTSP authentication. Cannot log in to the web UI. Required when enabling ONVIF Profile S fallback. For more information, see Configure Network Settings.

Limitations of ONVIF-only accounts​

ONVIF-only accounts have the following limitations, unlike standard operator accounts.

  • Create only one per device.

  • After creating the account, the system blocks changes to the ID, password, and permissions. Only enable, disable, or delete the account.

  • Disabling the account prevents Profile S fallback.

  • When Profile S fallback is enabled, the system blocks account deletion. First, change the ONVIF mode to Profile T Only.

Caution

ONVIF-only accounts do not allow ID or password changes after creation. Decide in advance what to enter on the NVR/VMS, and store the account information securely. To change the password, delete the account, then create it again.
