Below you'll find the details on the significant enhancements for the OpenEye Web Services’ permission structure. These updates are designed to bolster security, streamline administrator controls, and enhance overall usability.
In an effort to simplify and streamline permissions, we have consolidated Recorder Permissions and Remote Client Permissions with Web Services Permissions in User Groups.
Changes to Remote Client Permissions
- Remote Client Permissions are grouped under Client Access in Web Services Permissions. The Client Access permissions will be updated to manage device permissions per Location, in addition to OWS access.
- A new permission named Full Client Access has a toggle option to simplify granting all Client Access permissions.
Changes to Recorder Permissions
- These Recorder Permissions have been moved to a new Manage Devices section in Web Services Permissions:
- Manage System Settings
- Manage Sensor / Relay Settings
- Access Power Options
- Access Device Reset Options
- Manage Cameras Settings
- Set PTZ Presets
- Manage Software Upgrade
- Several Recorder Permissions have been merged into, and are granted with, the Manage System Settings permission:
- Access Support Tools
- Manage Intrusion Devices
- Manage Licensing
- Manage Macros
- Manage Schedules
- Manage Holidays
- Manage Network Configuration
- Manage Spot Monitor
- Manage Storage Settings
- Manage System Logs
- These Recorder Permissions have been moved to different sections, merged to create a new permission, or consolidated into existing permissions:
- System User Management and it's child permissions, Manage Roles, and Manage System Users have been merged into, and are now granted with the OWS permission, Manage Users and User Groups.
- Several Recorder Permissions have been moved to Web Services Permissions > Client Access and updated to apply to each Client:

Changes to Web Services Permissions
