Roles and Permissions for Intercom
Learn more about Verkada Intercom roles and permissions
This article describes the set of roles and associated permissions for Verkada Intercom. 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.
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.
Site-level roles
Verkada Intercom permissions determine who can receive calls, view intercom video, and unlock intercom doors. Intercom permissions depend on your site-level permissions and whether you’re configured as a Receiver.
You must be configured as a receiver to receive calls.
At a high level, these are the permissions granted to each level of Intercom devices:
Verify a user’s eligibility to receive Verkada Pass calls
Users configured as receivers can answer calls from the Pass app. To check their eligibility, hover over
next to the user’s name in the receiver list.
A user who has previously logged in to Verkada Pass will see Pass App.
A user who has never logged in to the Verkada Pass will see Send Pass App Invite
Set permissions
You can set site permissions for existing users and groups by managing user roles, groups, or sites.
You will have access to all cameras, viewing stations, air quality sensors, intercoms, gateways, New Alarms, and Command Connectors once you have been granted permissions for a site.
