A user account in Swann Security for PC and Mac is created to have limited access to the devices that are already added to the software. This is not the same user account that you may have set on the recorders themselves. This is also not related to the Swann Security account in mobile device as that doesn't have Guest access.

This article covers how to:

• Add a user
• Switch user
• Delete a user
