Operators (People Who
Can Use This Software)
Operators
An operator is a person who has been
given the authority to use the Guardall
Director software. Each operator is
given a 'login' name and password
that provide access to specific items
and features.
The permission-set assigned to each
operator determines what features they can
use, and which items will be shown on the
desktop.
