Vizy has a simple user-account system that allows the Admin user to create new accounts and set permissions. This is especially useful when your Vizy is configured for Web Sharing – it allows you to create accounts for others that restrict them from changing things like the currently running application, network configuration, etc.
There are three types of accounts:
There are two default accounts that are enabled when you first receive your Vizy.
To bring up the User Configuration dialog, select Users from the ☰ icon in the upper right corner (Settings Menu).
From the dialog, you have three choices:
The operation of these is fairly self-explanatory. You will need to input the Admin password of the Admin account that's currently logged in for changes to take effect.
User account information is stored in /home/pi/vizy/etc/users.json
– passwords are hashed/encoded. You can copy users.json
files between Vizys if you wish to copy accounts.
