ASSIGNING PERMISSIONS
Giving a permission to a role is granting that role the right to access specific DVR5100 devices, services, and features. A new role does not have
a permissions set. When you create a new role, you must assign the new role a set of permissions to access system features, services, and
devices. You can also exclude specific devices from the permissions set.
ASSIGNING PERMISSIONS TO SYSTEM FEATURES
1. Select the role you want to edit. Information about that role appears in the right pane of the Roles screen.
2. Click the System tab (if it is not already visible).
3. Click the Modify button on the System tab. The Select System Permissions dialog box opens (refer to Figure 92).
