About Streamvault user accounts

2024-12-10Last updated

There are two types of Streamvault™ user accounts: local administrator and local non-administrator. Depending on which type of user account you log on to the SV Control Panel with, you see only those features that are relevant to you.

Local administrator

The local administrator (Admin) user account is created by default. A person logged on as Admin has full administrative rights to the SV Control Panel. The Admin can configure all system- and security-related settings in the SV Control Panel, and can create non-administrator user accounts.

Local non-administrator

The default non-administrator local user account for All-in-one appliances and workstations is the Operator account. A person logged on as Operator has restricted access to SV Control Panel features. The Operator can launch Config Tool and Security Desk, view system and licensing information, and access product documentation.

A person logged on as Admin can create other non-administrator accounts, which also have limited access to the SV Control Panel.

Note: It’s possible to remove the default access restrictions placed on all non-administrator user accounts. For information on how to do so, see Removing restrictions from non-administrator user accounts.
