Local Administrator Account
The Administrator account in LocalView grants an onsite operator access to one Rapid Eye
Multi-Media unit in your organization. Users of this account can also use every function in
LocalView.
Many Users
If many users will be using the system, Honeywell recommends:
• Your Multi SA limit the use of the Administrator account and add password protection
to the account (see
Administrator Password
• That the password to the Administrator user account, and of any others based on that
account, should be kept secure and changed regularly.
Using Admin Software
To log on to the Admin application, user accounts other than the Administrator can be used
if they have the rights to access the site (based on Administrator). Creating such accounts
should be handled with care in high security environments.
Configuring LocalView
To configure LocalView, a user account needs the Modify Configuration right.
Switching a unit from Local User Management (the default) to Central User Management is
an option. Keep in mind:
• Changing User management is performed on a unit-by-unit basis.
• Only the Admin application can be used to set a unit to Central User Management.
• Only LocalView can be used to re-enable a unit to use Local User Management.
Creating Accounts For View
Whether user management is central or local, Admin can always be used to add accounts
for connecting to a unit from a PC running View.
Older Units
User management is not available on some older Rapid Eye models.
