Roles and Permissions for Gateway

Roles and permissions available for Verkada Gateways

Updated yesterday

This article describes the set of roles and associated permissions for Verkada Gateways. For more information on roles and permissions for other Verkada product lines, see Roles and Permissions for Command.

  • Site-level roles determine the access a user or group has to devices in the site.

  • Org-level roles allow users or groups to manage permissions and devices at a global level.

  • Permissions are set using roles, which define the level of access users and groups have to devices and settings within an organization and its sites.


Permissions considerations

  • Subsites inherit permissions from all parent sites, including the ultimate parent.

  • Users can belong to multiple groups. When roles conflict, the user receives the highest role granted directly or through any group.

  • Group-assigned roles can be manually upgraded but not downgraded. Remove the user from the group with the higher role to downgrade their access.
