Managing AvertX Connect User accounts
Proactively managing AvertX Connect user accounts is recommended. User accounts with Administrator / Admin permissions have access to the entire account. Admin users have the ability to make changes that can drastically affect your AvertX Connect account's performance.
Only invite trusted individuals, and limit the number of accounts with administrator permissions. This will allow you to better account for changes, like adding or deleting recorders, adding or deleting users, etc.... Accounts with Admin permissions can also log into an associated ProConnect recorder(s) and change the local admin account's password.
If you need help adding users to your AvertX Connect account, use this account management article.
These are the AvertX Connect User Group Permissions:
Only accounts assigned to the Admin (administrator) User Group will have access to all the AvertX Connect menu tabs.
