DW Spectrum User Manual
Digital Watchdog
Introducing User Roles
There are three types of user roles in DW Spectrum:
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.
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 DW Spectrum and is only able to work with assigned layouts and cameras.
