Alarms tab (roles)

If you use alarms in your system setup to provide central overview and control of your installation (including any other XProtect servers), you can use the Alarms tab to specify the alarm permissions for users and groups with the selected role they should have, for example, how to handle alarms in the clients.

In Alarms, you specify the permissions for alarms:

Security permission	Description
Manage	Enables the permission to manage alarms in the Smart Client. For example, changing priorities of alarms, re-assigning alarms to other users, acknowledging alarms, changing the alarm state of multiple alarms (for example from New to Assigned). To edit alarm settings, you also need the Edit alarm settings permission. Only when you set this to allowed does the Alarms and Events tab in the Options dialog appear.
View	Enables the permission to view the Alarm Manager tab in XProtect Smart Client and retrieve alarms and alarm settings through the API. To view alarms in XProtect Smart Client, you must enable the View permission for at least one alarm definition. You view alarms from third-party solutions by default.
Disable alarms	Enables the permission to disable alarms.
Receive notifications	Enables the permission to receive notifications about alarms in XProtect Mobile clients and XProtect Web Client.
Edit alarm settings	Enables the permission to edit alarm definitions, alarm states, alarm categories, alarm sounds, alarm retention, and event retention. To edit alarm settings, you also need the Manage permission.

In Alarm Definitions, you specify the permissions for a specific alarm definition:

Name	Description
View	Enables the permission to view alarm definitions, alarm states, alarm categories, alarm sounds, alarm retention, and event retention.
Write	Enables the View permission.
