User rights

Post by voz »

If I have 10 cameras. Is it possible to add only a few cameras for a user to view?

And is it possible to combine several cameras into a group? Should access be provided in groups?

As I understand it, user rights to view specific cameras are saved in the database? Or is it all saved to a file?

User permissions are handled in the user management screen. Under Options - Users - Restricted Monitors. https://zoneminder.readthedocs.io/en/st ... users.html

Yes, Groups are implemented in ZM. First they are created, and cameras added to them. I think it's possible to set a default view in the Users tab for a group. Though I would need to double check. If monitors are restricted, I don't think they will show up in groups, or at least the user will not be able to view them. http://ipaddress/zm/?view=groups

Everything is saved in the Database. https://wiki.zoneminder.com/MySQL
fastest way to test streams:
ffmpeg -i rtsp://<user>:<pass>@<ipaddress>:554/path ./output.mp4 (if terminal only)
ffplay rtsp://<user>:<pass>@<ipaddress>:554/path (gui)
find paths on ispydb or in zm hcl
