Edit a User's Access Permissions
Setting user permissions for Verkada access control
Updated this week

Access control permissions determine which doors a user has access to as well as what times they can access them. Door access is managed by the access goups the user is assigned to. The Access Admin role can be assigned which gives the user permission to manage access groups and users. Site Access Admins can manage a site's doors and access controllers.
