Chapter 1: User Management
• Delete recording files
Delete recording files stored on the HD RECORDING SERVER and
recording file information stored on the database. Recording files copied to
other servers cannot be deleted.
For details, see “Deleting Recording Files via RSOnline” (page 30).
User Authentication
When user authentication is enabled, only registered users can perform
recording operations.
The user authentication setting can be configured individually for each HD
RECORDING SERVER.
When user authentication is disabled, you can log in as the default
Administrator (with administrator privileges) or an Anonymous user (with
general privileges). Anyone can log in as a general user in this mode.
General privileges are available when logged in as an Anonymous user.
“Anonymous” is always entered as the user name by default when you first
open the front page of RSOnline. Logging in as an Anonymous user does not
require password entry.
Registered users can also log in in this mode.
To gain access to administrator privileges, you must enter the user name and
password for an account with administrator privileges.
You can name and register a specified number of users so that only these users
and the default Administrator (with administrator privileges) can log in when
user authentication is enabled. Administrator privileges can also be granted to
registered users.
Anonymous users cannot log in in this mode.
Default Users
“Default users” refers to users that are preregistered to the HD RECORDING
SERVER by default.
