Multicast Configuration can be changed via SetConfiguration API in ONVIF Media2 Service with the user have ACTUATE access class rights. currently Administrator and Operator have ACTUATE access class rights. changing WRITE_SYSTEM means only Administrator have it. Does it not create any backward compatibility issue with existing ONVIF clients.

I also agree with @venki5685
Moreover, we are changing the configuration of the multicast-related networking option, not the device full network configurtion.
