Restriction
The Restriction view contains a list of restrictions. Restrictions are further used to restrict or permit users, user groups, or consoles to use certain elements within your specific installation. It is typically used to prevent a specific operator to use certain cameras, to block the display of specific alarms on certain consoles, etc. Along with privileges, restrictions determine the rights of the user.
The Restriction settings are grouped in tabs.
