1.Login under df-admin (DF “SuperAdmin” role)
Here you will see almost all the info that DF fetches from Milestone

2.Login by current AtiveDirectory/regular Windows user
Login to Windows by AD user.
Login to DF by “Current Windows user” option.
You will see only cameras and business logics, that you have permissions for.
Cameras – from Milestone permissions.
Business logics – from DF SuperAdmin Permissions (df-admin by default).

3. Login by non-current AtiveDirectory/regular Windows user
Launch browser in incognito mode.
Select Current Windows user option on login page and press LOGIN button.
Enter in “Sign in” form Windows’ user credentials.
Active Directory username example:
user1@ad.ff-group.local
user1 – user name
ad.ff-group.local – AD domain

In some cases, press F5 (refresh page) so all data fetches from Milestone.
If you want to login by another non-current Windows user, close Incognito browser, launch it again and login by another user.
In case of regular Windows login (without ActiveDirectory) it’s may be with or without domain name.

6. Business logics and events flow federalization

7. Federalization Business logics set and settings
7.1. Requirements
1.Bussines logic should have different levels of permissions:
a. Owner/administrator level - can configure groups and analytic event parameters. + all other operational operations.
b. Operator - can add/modify/delete license plates in existing groups + see/search/export events;
 (he should not be able to add/modify/delete groups or analytic events parameters).
2.Business logic should be visible and manageable based on access rights - for example a regional dispatcher can see only the bussines logic for his region,
but a central dispatcher should be able to see all the business logics for which he has rights (all the regions).
For each user/groups we should be able to select the permissions for each business logic.

1.Business logics, restricted by Milestone’s permissions (by cameras set)
