Manage group permissions

You can set permissions for access control unit groups on role level. The users within a role can view and manage only the access control units you allow them to.

If a user holds multiple roles with conflicting permissions, they will be unable to use the access control unit.

If you set role permissions for an access point only (without the door it belongs to), the access point won't be visible in XProtect Smart Client. The role members will still receive notifications, events, and alarms related to the access point, but they won't see the access point itself.

To set group permissions for a role:

1. Go to Roles and select the role you want to manage the group permissions for.

2. Go to the Overall Security tab and click Access Control. Make sure the Allow checkbox for Use access control is unchecked.

3. Go to the Access Control tab and expand the Access Control tree. Select the access control group you want to set permissions for. To allow the users to see and manage the access control units in this group, select Use access control unit. Your changes save automatically.
