User Permissions
Using Windows Active Directory, a high level of security can be implemented in AXIS C amera Station when granting user permissions.

A user can be granted access as an individual or as part of a group. In cases where a user is granted access as an individual he will
retain this right plus receive the rights he receives as part of a group. For example, a user is given access to camera X as an individual.
The user is also a member of a group. The group is given access to cameras Y and Z. The user then has access to cameras X, Y and Z.
