Pearl-2 User Guide User types and privileges
Viewer
The viewer account is for all users who are permitted to view the streamed channels. The default user name
used to log in to Pearl-2 is viewer. If no password is assigned, then viewers are not prompted for a user name
and password to view a channel. The viewer user name and password prompt appears only if a viewer
password is set.
In addition to the global viewer account, each channel can set a viewer password that overrides the global
value, see Restrict viewer access to channel streams.
