Navigation:  Working with Nx Witness > Introducing User Roles

There are three types of user roles in Nx Witness:

•Owner (user with "admin" login). Unlimited control. This user cannot be deleted.

•Administrator. Full control, except:

•Change Super Administrator (admin) settings

•Delete or change own role

•Viewers (Live Viewer, Viewer, Advanced Viewer). Limited control. A viewer cannot:

•Manage users (except for changing their own password).

•See servers and all connected cameras. Only the cameras assigned by the administrator are visible.

•Change predefined layouts (layouts can be changed, but cannot be saved); however, it is possible to configure and save own layouts based on available resources (assigned cameras and local files).

Additional permissions can be assigned to users to be able to operate with available cameras (assigned by Administrator):

•View archive, perform search and forensic analysis

•Perform export from archives

•Set up cameras

•Set up PTZ on cameras

•Create, modify and delete Video Walls.

If none of these permissions are assigned, a user can only view live videos on available cameras.

IMPORTANT. If any action or graphical element described in this document is not available to a specific user level, the following will apply (Admin only). If the action described in this document is unavailable to certain roles, it will be indicated in the corresponding topic.

The following represents a standard flow:

1.Super Administrator creates and configures all layouts for own use.

2.Super Administrator creates several users with a Viewer role.

3.Super Administrator creates and configures layouts for each Viewer.

4.Viewer logs into Nx Witness and is only able to work with assigned layouts and cameras.
