This article describes the set of roles and associated permissions for Verkada Air Quality Sensors.

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/subsites.
User permissions specify what tasks users can perform and what features users can access in Command.
Site-level permissions define what access a particular user or group has to the cameras within the site. Site-level permissions are configured using roles.

See Roles and Permissions for Command users for an in-depth explanation of the features and configurations available for overall Verkada Command usage and administration.

Org-level roles

Org Admin

Required. The Org Admin must also be a Site Admin for the sites where the sensors are located.

For each category below, Site Admins can perform specific actions.

Add/remove devices.
Move devices between sites.
Set up (enable/disable) and edit triggers and their sensitivity values.
Reboot a device.
Set up offline notifications for the sensors in the sites they have access to.
Link a camera (as a context camera) to monitor events, where they must have access to the site the camera they’re trying to attach to the sensor is in.
Download a (comma-separated value) CSV file of the sensor data for any of the readings.
Enable live audio and recorded audio (for SV25s that support audio recording and have this feature enabled).

Create and edit dashboards. To do so, must be also an Org Admin.
Pair dashboards with a display.
Share the dashboard with other users.
Delete dashboards.
Edit tiles to view a time-series line graph.
Display sensor readings only.
View a single aggregated metric, a gauge, or a list of the readings’ values.
Delete tiles on the dashboard.
Choose the sensor to view on the dashboard.
Choose which sensor readings to display on each tile (for example, Temp/Vape Index/Humidity, and so on).
Choose the timescale (3 hrs or 24 hrs [only 2 options available]).
Adjust the thresholds for each of the selected values to set their own ranges for good, fair, and bad values.

View the values and the sites where the Site Admin has access.
Sort filters to view specific readings, such as Temp/Vape Index/Humidity, and duration (weekly, daily, monthly).
Toggle between sites where the Site Admin has access.

A Live-Only Viewer user cannot view air quality devices within a site.

A No Access user cannot view air quality devices within a site.
