    • View live: Can monitor live video from devices such as cameras connected to BLAZE.
    • Manage webpages: Can manage webpages by adding the webpages of devices such as cameras to BLAZE.
    • View archive: Can play videos from devices stored on the server in the timeline panel. Bookmarks can also be added to videos or videos can be exported.
      • View bookmarks: Can check bookmarks set in recorded videos. Selecting Create bookmarks allows adding bookmarks to recorded videos, while selecting Edit bookmarks allows modifying or deleting bookmarks.
      • Export video: Can export the selected video as a file.
      • Video metadata: Can check the metadata of recorded videos stored in BLAZE. Select the motion, object, or event options to place those items on the Scene panel for searching and playing videos.

        For example, when a thermal camera is connected, enable the video metadata permission to view information such as temperature trends in graphs from the video's temperature metadata.

    • User controls
      • PTZ control: Can control the pan, tilt, and zoom of the camera to view real-time video.
      • 2-way audio: During real-time monitoring, controls bidirectional audio to communicate with devices and audio.
        Note: Managed shared layouts, Manage maps are features available only to Administrator or Super administrator so these features only appear in the permissions list for Super administrator and Administrator.
      • Alarm output control: Can control alarm outputs.
      • Other controls: Controls AUX functions of the camera, such as heater, spinning dry, and wiper. On cameras that support AUX functions, this can be used without entering PTZ mode. This menu is displayed only on supported devices, and only users with AUX control permission can use it.

    • Even if you select the Notification event action in the event rule, users will not be able to view event notifications if they do not have the necessary permissions assigned to their roles.
  • SETTINGS: Can configure some settings for devices and the client.
    • Device settings: Can use the Video, Recording, Image, and Fisheye tabs.
      • Only users with Administrator role can use the Motion, Object, and Maintenance tabs.

      Note: Server settings, System settings, User management, and Edit device tree are features available only to Administrator or Super administrator so these features only appear in the permissions list for Super administrator and Administrator.
