User management¶
IRIS+ Professional provides a user management system that allows you to create and manage users, assign roles, and set permissions. This is useful for controlling access to the system and ensuring that only authorized users can perform certain actions.
Go to Settings Users.
Users¶
Users are the individuals who have access to the system. Each user is assigned a role, which determines their permissions in the system. Users can be created and managed by a user with Admin role.
The Admin role and full write access
Note that adding a user to a group having only Admin role does not grant them write access to all functionalities (as that role lacks access to some features, see above).
To have a user with full access to all functionalities, it must be assigned to a group with both Admin and Manager roles - the default Administrator is such a user. The Admin role is designed for only managing users and settings.
To add a user, click the +Add button in the Users tab. This will open a form where you can enter the user's information, including their name, email address, and role.
1. User details¶
- E-mail: The email address of the user. This is used for sending notifications and alerts.
- Name: The name of the user. Used for identifying the user in the system. Automatically generated from the email address (otherwise changeable).
- Phone number (optional): The phone number of the user. This is used for sending notifications and alerts.
- Description (optional): A description of the user. This is used for identifying the user in the system.
2. Access - User group¶
Click the dropdown menu to select the user group to which the user will belong. The user group determines the permissions that the user has in the system. A single user may belong to more than one group. The user group can be changed later.
Read below for more information about roles.
Click the Save button to create the user.
Editing a user¶
To edit a user, click their row in the Users tab. This will open the above form where you can change the user's information (except for their e-mail).
Ticking the checkbox next to a user will enable additional functions; Click the Delete button to remove the user from the system or Suspend to disable it. The user will not be able to log in to the system until they are re-enabled, here.
Note that modifying the permissions of the user currently logged in will take between 1-2 minutes to take effect.
User groups¶
User groups are used to group users together and assign them the same permissions. This is useful for managing large numbers of users and ensuring that they have the same access to the system. User groups can be created and managed by the Administrator role.
Click the +Add button in the User groups tab. This will open a form where you can enter the user's information, including their name, email address, and role.

Roles¶
Roles are presets used to define the permissions that users have in the system. There are four predefined roles with different permissions:
The Viewer role has read-only access to the system. This role can view live video feeds and historical data, but cannot make any changes to the system. The Viewer role is typically assigned to management personnel or auditors.
The Manager role has access to running Queries, registering RTSP streams and uploading videos, as well as viewing system settings.
The Historical manager has access to running Queries, registering RTSP streams and viewing system settings.
The Administrator role can create and manage users, assign roles, and set permissions. It is able to upload Query Types and Classifiers, and has access to licence handling. It is unable to run Queries or register streams and videos. The Administrator role is typically assigned to system administrators or IT personnel.
See the table above for a detailed overview of the permissions for each role.
