Enable editing devices on smart map

You must enable the editing of devices per role to allow operators to, for example:

  • Position an input device or a microphone on a smart map
  • Adjust the field of view of a camera on a smart map

Operators can be allowed to edit the following device types on smart maps:

  • Cameras
  • Input devices
  • Microphones

Requirements
Before you start, make sure that smart map editing has been enabled (see Enable smart map editing). You do this on the Smart Client profile that the role of the operator is associated with.

Steps:

  1. Expand the Security node > Roles.
  2. In the Roles pane, select the role that your operator is associated with.
  3. To give the role editing permissions:
    • Select the Overall Security tab, and in the Role Settings pane, select the device type (for example, Cameras or Input)
    • In the Allow column, select the Full control or Edit check box
  4. Save the changes.

To enable the editing of individual devices, go to the Device tab and select the relevant device.
