Create a basic user for Milestone AI Bridge

You must create a new basic user that Milestone AI Bridge can use when logging into the XProtect VMS. Milestone recommends that the new basic user is only used in connection with Milestone AI Bridge.

Remember to add the basic user to the administrator role.

  1. Select Site Navigation > Security > Basic Users.

  2. In the Basic Users pane, right-click and select Create Basic User and specify a user name and password.

  3. The password must meet the complexity defined in the appsettings.json file for your XProtect VMS. See Configure login settings for basic users.

  4. Clear the Force Basic User to change password on next login check box because Milestone AI Bridge cannot change the password when logging in.

  5. Keep the Enabled status of the basic user and select OK to create the basic user.

  6. To add the basic user to the Administrator role, select Site Navigation > Security > Roles.

  7. Select the Administrators role and then the User and Groups tab.

  8. Select Add and then Basic user.

  9. Select the user you just created for Milestone AI Bridge and select OK.

  10. In a secure way, share the basic user's login credentials with your IVA app integrator.

Now the IVA app integrator can configure Milestone AI Bridge to log into your XProtect VMS.
