About groups

2025-02-25

A group is an entity that defines a group of users who share common properties and privileges.

Benefits of groups

User groups simplify the configuration of users on large systems by having users automatically inherit all of the group's properties. A user can be a member of multiple user groups. A group can be made up of administrators, operators, or both.

Role-based groups

You must assign a role to each group that you create. The role determines the privileges that the users within the group have. There are two role types that can be assigned to a group:

Administrator: This role is designed for system administrators. It provides full access to both Genetec™ Configuration and Genetec™ Operation.
Operator: This role is designed for security operators who monitor real-time events within the system. It provides access to Genetec Operation.

Note: The Administrator and Operator groups are system entities created during installation that can't be deleted or renamed. These groups are only displayed in Genetec Configuration desktop.
