  • Hovering the mouse cursor over the blocked permission allows viewing a list of all necessary permissions that must be assigned beforehand.
  • The user has full access to the required camera or camera group features only if all permissions are selected within the assigned role.
  • The user does not have any access to the required camera or camera group unless at least the View Cameras primary permission is selected within the assigned role.
