The default user account
The video system is delivered with a default user account with
full access rights. The user name is admin, and initially, no
passphrase is set.
It is mandatory to set a passphrase for the default admin
user in order to restrict access to system configuration. It
is also mandatory to set a passphrase for any other user
with ADMIN rights.
A warning, saying that the system passphrase is not set, is shown
on screen until a passphrase is set for the admin user.
Other user accounts
You can create many user accounts for the video system.
Read more about how to create and manage user accounts in the
â–º User administration chapter.

password of any user.

passphrase input fields.
If the user holds the Admin role, you must enter your own
passphrase in the Your passphrase input field for verification.
