Security profiles
A security profile is a collection of permissions that you can apply across all users and groups. Security profiles make it easy to switch the permissions for users and groups in the Senstar Symphony Server.
Typically, you add security profiles to the Senstar Symphony Server to be more responsive to external changes. Each user and user group can have a specific set of permissions within each security profile. When you activate a security profile, all users and user groups switch to the permissions in that security profile.
Security profiles workflow
- Add a security profile to create a new container for user and group permissions.
- Set the security profile permissions to define the permissions that users and groups have when the security profile is active.
- Activate the security profile to apply the permissions to users and groups.
Use-case example
For example, you can create a default security profile and a fire response security profile. For normal operation, the default security profile is active and the permissions assigned to the users and user groups are also active. In the case of a fire incident, you activate the fire response security profile that grants a fire response group permission to view all cameras in the facility, broadcast audio from cameras, and search footage to help facilitate the emergency response. When the fire response team resolves the incident, you reactivate the default security profile and return to normal operation.
