Importing ACM Roles

NOTE: This feature is only available to sites that are connected to an ACM appliance.

To provide users with control over doors, you must import Roles from the ACM application. When you import a role, you are also importing all the identities that are assigned to the role.

NOTE: Adding ACM Identities to a site will disable all Active Directory users.

1. In the site Setup tab, click .

   The Users and Groups dialog box is displayed.

2. Select the External Directory tab.
3. Select the Enable External Directory check box.
4. From the drop down list, select Avigilon Access Control Manager.

   Tip: If you previously imported Active Directory users, you can still do so by configuring remote authentication from external domains in the ACM application first. For more information, see the ACM help files.

5. Click Add Group.
6. In the following dialog, select an existing group to use as a template then click OK. You can edit the permissions for the group later.
7. In the following dialog box, select all the roles that you want to import.

   You can use the search bar to find specific roles.

8. Click OK to add the roles.

Once imported, the roles are automatically added to the External Directory list and the Groups list. All the identities assigned to the role are imported into the Users list.

Imported roles can now be edited like any existing group in the Client software. You can assign a rank, feature privileges, and device access rights to the imported role. However, be aware that you cannot assign users to the role from the Client software.

Imported identities can now be added to any existing group in addition to the role they were imported with.

Imported identity information, including login credentials, is maintained by the ACM application. In the Client software, you can only disable an imported user or configure the user's Login Timeout settings.
