Description
A Cloudvue Custom View User is one which has not been assigned to any devices only to views. They are used to allow viewing rights such as live or view only to devices while not giving access to a device’s settings. If an existing Custom View User is removed from all views they will become orphaned and will appear to be hidden or missing.
