Invite a user to your organization

With an Org Admin account, you can invite users to your organization's Command account and control their access. Once invited, your users receive an automatic email inviting them to create their account and set a password.

  1. In Verkada Command, go to All Products > Admin.

  2. Under Org Settings, select Users.

  3. At the top right, select Add User.

  4. Enter the user's first name, last name, and email address.

  5. Optional. Add the user to a group or assign as Organization Admin.

  6. Select Assign Roles to grant user permissions.


    Note: Once roles are assigned, you only see the sites for those the user has permissions. You need to select Manage Roles to view/edit for the sites the user does not have current permissions.

  7. (Optional) Set an access control role, alarm console keycode, and user groups.

Your users should receive an email inviting them to your organization's Command account with the role permissions you define.

Note: If you or your users don't receive the invite email as expected, check your spam folder. Some email filters may prevent it from reaching your inbox.

Deactivate a user

You can deactivate these types of users: Command or System for Cross-Domain Identity Management (SCIM).

Note: Once a user is deactivated, their permissions, group assignments, and so on cannot be changed. If you need to edit a user's data, they must be reactivated.

If your users are SCIM-managed, you can deactivate them by performing the appropriate actions in your Identity Provider (IdP). Once synced, the user's status is switched to Deactivated.
