Adding a user

The BLAZE system supports adding both Cloud users and Local users. Cloud users can access multiple systems with a single account when BLAZE is connected to the Hanwha Vision Cloud, while Local users can access only the current connected system.

Users are assigned to roles that define permissions for each function, and logged-in users can only use the functions allowed by their assigned role. Applying permission groups defined in roles lets you manage many users conveniently by grouping them by permission.

Note:
  • Only users with Super administrator or Administrator privileges can add other users.
    • Super administrators can add Administrators, Operators, and Viewers.
    • Administrators can add Operators and Viewers.
  • For detailed information about user permission groups, see Roles.

To add a user

  1. Settings > Users.
  2. On the Users page, click Add user.
    • When adding users in federation mode, select the desired type between Cloud user and Local user. For details on federation mode, see System federation.
  3. In the Add new user dialog, enter user information and click Next→.
    • If you select Cloud user, enter the Hanwha Vision Cloud account email address. Invited users will receive an email invitation to create and activate their account.
      Note: Cloud users are assigned per-system; Global User accounts can access all systems within the organization.
      Note:

      The following error messages may appear when adding a Cloud user. Check the account's role and system access permissions in the Cloud Portal, then try again.

      • Failed to create user on Cloud Portal: This may appear when the entered email is not registered in the Cloud Portal and an attempt was made to create a new user, but the currently logged-in account lacks permission or the Cloud Portal request failed to process.
      • Failed to assign a BLAZE role: This may appear when the user account already exists in the Cloud Portal or was successfully created, but assigning the BLAZE role to that user failed.
    • If you select Local user, enter the local user information.
    • Username: Enter the username to sign in to BLAZE.
      • Usernames may include letters, numbers, and special characters, and can be up to 64 characters long.
      • Spaces and tabs can be used between letters, numbers, and special characters, but any spaces or tabs entered at the beginning or end of the username are automatically removed.
      • Usernames are not case-sensitive.
      • You cannot enter a username that is already registered.
    • Password: Enter the password to sign in to BLAZE. Follow the password rules shown when you click the text box.
    • Email: Enter the user's email address.
    • First name: Enter the user's first name. The entered first name is shown in the user list.
    • Last name: Enter the user's last name. The entered last name is shown in the user list.
      Note:
      • Username and Password are required fields; you must enter them according to the rules to proceed to the next step.
      • When entering first and last names, uppercase letters and spaces are allowed.
  4. In the Assign permissions section of the Add new user dialog, select a role and click Create user.
    • Custom permissions: Configure detailed permissions for the selected user directly. Instead of assigning a pre-defined role, you can set different permissions for each user.
      • A user not belonging to a separate role who can have different permissions per user.
    • Administrator: Assign the Administrator role to the user.
    • Operator: Assign the Operator role to the user.
    • Viewer: Assign the Viewer role, which allows only live view monitoring, to the user.
    • New role: Assign the user to a permission group previously created by an Administrator in Roles.
  5. Click Apply.

Enabling a user

You can enable or disable an added user account. When a user is added, it is set to On by default.
  • If you toggle the Enable user switch to Off, a notification bar appears at the top.
  • Select multiple users and toggle Enable user to On to enable them all at once.
Note:

Users set to Off will have their accounts deactivated and will not be able to log in to BLAZE. Be cautious when changing a user's status.

  • Disabling a user registered in BLAZE allows you to restrict their access while keeping the account intact. For users who regularly use BLAZE, you can manage them by enabling or disabling the account rather than adding or deleting it.

Setting up synchronization with LDAP groups

You can import user information from an LDAP server and register it in BLAZE. When you add users imported from the LDAP server, the Link roles with LDAP groups option is shown and set to On by default.
  • Synchronizing LDAP groups with BLAZE roles causes changes to LDAP user groups to be reflected in BLAZE roles. Additionally, deleting a user from an LDAP group automatically removes their information from BLAZE.
  • If you toggle Link roles with LDAP groups to Off, changes in LDAP user groups will not be reflected in BLAZE roles.
  • Mapping information between LDAP groups and BLAZE roles can only be modified or deleted when synchronization is set to Off.
