How to know if a user, not the one logged in, has permission to access a camera?

Many Thanks,

You can use

--

static bool VideoOS.Platform.Util.SecurityAccess.IsMember( ServerId serverId, string sidIdentity, string roleId)

-

This method will check if the user identified by the provided identity is part of a specific role.

Parameters

serverId Server on which the role exists

sidIdentity Identity of the user to check

roleId The role to check

--

Note. For a Windows user the SID is something you will need to ask Windows, hope you can find a method, for Basic users it is a Guid and you can find the users using Configuration API (CA).

I envision a solution where you

· Use CA to find all roles

· Use IsMember to find if the user belongs to a role

· Use CA to find the Camera

· Still using CA use the Camera method Edit permissions for each Role to see permissions.

I have not made the code, have not tested this, but I am confident it will work. Let me know.

Hi @Rie Kiuchi (Milestone Systems)​

Any Sample plugin integration that checks camera permissions from roles.

How to use in plugin integration

  • VideoOS.Platform.Util.SecurityAccess.IsMember
  • VideoOS.Platform.Util.SecurityAccess.CheckPermission(Item item,string actionId )

Thanks,

Regarding IsMember, there is no sample but please see this Forum question, it might be helpful for you to see how to use IsMember - https://developer.milestonesys.com/s/question/0D53X0000AO5kI7SQJ/check-if-the-logged-in-user-is-member-of-a-specific-role

CheckPermission, please see this sample. There are some code using CheckPermission so it might be helpful.
