Leverage Recorder Groups to further simplify the management of your system. Recorder Groups can be accessed by selecting Recorder Groups from the Management > Recorders dropdown menu. This page displays a list of recorder groups associated with the Customer Account. Creating recorder groups and assigning users to them is typically more efficient than assigning users to each recorder one at a time.

Add a Recorder or Recorder Group to a User Group here.

Adding a Recorder directly to a Recorder Group using a Registration Code

You can add a recorder directly to a group by using the Recorder Registration Code associated with a Recorder Group found under Management > Recorders > Recorder Groups. Users require the Manage Recorders and Recorder Groups User Group permission enabled to add recorders to recorder groups. Do so by enabling Manage Recorders and Recorder Groups under Web Services Permissions within the selected User Group Permissions.

  1. Under Management > User Management > User Groups, click Edit next to the selected User Group. Edit Button.png
