Introduction

XProtect Corporate is Milestone’s high-end video management software (VMS) is designed for large-scale high-security installations.

Large-scale installations often have more than one administrator managing the VMS, and in some cases external contractors handle specific management and maintenance functions such as replacing cameras, managing recording servers or managing a subset of the devices in the VMS.

To support scenarios where multiple administrators are responsible for different or overlapping functional areas of the installation, XProtect Corporate supports the creation of multiple administrator roles wherein the specific management areas and device permissions can be controlled in detail.

Furthermore, with Management Client profiles, XProtect Corporate supports customization of the XProtect Management Client’s user interface. This enables optimization of the VMS’ management interface for different responsibility areas. The customization is done by removing the parts of the XProtect Management Client interface that is not needed by the administrators in question, making the user interface simpler to navigate and use.

In addition to supporting customizable administrator roles and Management Client profiles, it is possible to further control access to the installation – even for administrators with management rights. This is done by enabling dual authorization for the roles in question. With dual authorization enabled for a role, the users with this role must first authenticate themselves in the XProtect Management Client, and after this they need a second “super” administrator with the ‘Authorize users’ rights to log in and authorize their access to the VMS.

With customizable administrator roles, Management Client profiles and dual authorization, XProtect Corporate is the perfect fit for the variated and demanding ways that large-scale high-security installations are managed and maintained.
