Private and shared views (explained)

Views can be private or shared:

Private views can only be accessed by the user who created them. To make the view private, create it inside the Private folder.
Shared views allow many XProtect Smart Client users to share the same views. This is possible because all views are stored on the surveillance system server. Depending on your type of surveillance system:
- There may be a default folder for shared views named Shared or Default group.
- Shared views can be shared by all XProtect Smart Client users, or access to selected shared views can be given to certain XProtect Smart Client users. Typically, only a few people in an organization can create and edit shared views. For example, the system administrator may create and maintain a number of shared views, so users do not need to create their own views.

Not all users may have access to all cameras on the surveillance system. Some of the features you include in your shared view may not be supported in earlier versions of XProtect Smart Client. Always make sure that the users you want to share with have the necessary rights and are running the same XProtect Smart Client version as yourself. To check your XProtect Smart Client version, click in the top right corner of the XProtect Smart Client window.
