Simple User Permissions Model for Cameras

An example of how you can implement Verkada's permissions to your organizational structure

Updated over a week ago

The articles below may be useful to review prior to following the example below.

Note: This article provides an example of a permissions model that a typical organization with several sites and users may employ.

Let's say you have the following setup:

Users and their required level of access

  • Dean of Students - Ability to view all cameras in the College University organization

  • IT Director - Ability to view and edit all cameras in the College University organization

  • Librarian - Ability to view cameras in the Library sub-site

  • Cafeteria Manager - Ability to view cameras in the Cafeteria sub-site

  • South campus security officer - Ability to view live streams in the South Campus site (and its sub-site)

Permissions each user should be assigned

  • Dean of Students - Organization member and Site Viewer on all sites

  • IT Director - Organization Admin and Site Admin on all sites

  • Librarian - Organization member and Site Viewer on the Library sub-site

  • Cafeteria Manager - Organization member and Site Viewer on the Cafeteria sub-site

  • South campus security officer - Organization member and Live-Only Viewer on the South Campus site

Note: Organization Admin permissions are not related to site/sub-site permissions. Being an Organization Admin does not mean you get Site Admin permissions automatically. However, as an Organization Admin, you can configure yourself as a Site Admin for any site.
