Control DMP access

Last modified: Tuesday February 18, 2025.

Avigilon Alta and their partners use Deployment Management Portal (DMP) to set up and maintain your Alta Video deployments.

As an Alta Video administrator, you retain full control over whether Avigilon Alta or your Ava sales partners have access to your Alta Video deployments and cameras.

Aware captures all user logins to the deployment, whether that is directly, or via the Avigilon Alta Deployment Management Portal (DMP). However, only explicit logouts are recorded in the audit logs — if a user simply closes the browser window used to connect to Alta Video, this is not recorded.

Check if the DMP has access to a deployment

  1. From Alta Video, choose Tools > Users.
  2. The Users tool shows the current DMP access status as either DMP user access Denied or DMP user access Granted.

Turn on DMP access to a deployment

  1. From Alta Video, choose Tools > Users.
  2. Click DMP status denied.
  3. From DMP access settings, deselect Block all access.
  4. Click Done.

Allow a DMP user group access to a deployment

DMP users belong to user groups within DMP. You control which DMP user groups have access to your deployment and the user permissions assigned to those groups.

  1. From Alta Video, choose Tools > Users.
  2. Open DMP user access and deselect Block all access if required.
  3. Click Add DMP User Group.
  4. Select the required DMP Group.
  5. Select an Alta Video user group to map to the selected DMP user group.
    1. Members of the DMP user group will have the same permissions as the selected user group when they enter the deployment.
    2. You can create an Alta Video user group for DMP users and assign it specific permissions. See Create User groups.

  6. Choose how long to give the DMP user group access.
  7. Click Done.

Edit or delete a DMP user group

You can change the deployment user group associated with a DMP user group and its access period.

  1. From Alta Video, choose Tools > Users.
  2. Open DMP user access.
  3. To edit the DMP group, select it and click edit button.
  4. To delete a DMP user group, select it click delete button Delete.
  5. Click Done.

Turn off DMP access

  1. Click DMP status granted.
  2. From DMP access settings, turn on Block all access.
  3. Click Done.
