How are user accounts and roles managed in XProtect?

User accounts and roles in XProtect are managed by providing users with specific roles that define their permissions. This approach allows for granular control over what each user can access and what actions they can perform within the system. By assigning roles, administrators can tailor access levels based on the responsibilities and needs of each user, thereby enhancing security and ensuring that users only have access to the information and functionalities necessary for their work.

For instance, a user in the security team might be assigned a role that allows them to view live feeds, while a user in administration might have a role that allows them to manage system settings. This method of role-based access control streamlines the management of user permissions and helps maintain the principle of least privilege, which is a key security concept.

In contrast, other options suggest unrestricted access or roles created on an ad-hoc basis, which would lead to potential security risks and administrative inefficiencies. Additionally, granting access based on system performance does not align with the structured approach necessary for effective user management in systems such as XProtect.
