If you have multiple sites within a Premium or Enterprise-licensed organization, this new feature allows you to assign users to a specified site.
Note: Users not associated with any site can be viewed and edited by any site admin.
Adding single users to specific sites
Navigate to Users > Users.
Select the user you want to assign to a specific site.
Scroll to the bottom of the page, toggle on "Site associations", and choose the site from the drop-down list.
Click Save.
Go to the “Access” tab at the top of the page and verify that the user has access to the entries for that specific site.
Click Save.
Adding multiple users to specific sites
You can add multiple users at once to sites using Access Groups or directly from the Sites page.
Adding users via Access Groups
To assign access groups to specific sites, create access groups for a site, add or remove users to the group using the arrows, and grant the group access to that site’s entries.
Adding users via Sites
Alternatively, you can add multiple users to a site by navigating to Sites > Sites and selecting the desired site by using the pencil icon. Once you’ve selected your site, scroll down to the user associations section and use the arrows to either add or remove users from the site.
Note: Ensure the user has access to the correct entries for the specific site, as site associations alone do not grant access.
Setting up a site-specific admin
A site-specific admin can be set up to manage and edit only the users assigned to their specific site, ensuring a clear separation of responsibilities. To allow site admins to view all users in the organization, create a site admin, and don’t associate end users with specific sites.
Log In
Go to Avigilon Alta Access to log in.
European users should log in through EU Alta Access.
Create a new role
Navigate to Users > Roles.
Click the + icon in the top right corner to create a new role.
Give the role a descriptive name and description.
Toggle on "Limit to specific sites".
Select the desired site from the drop-down list.
Add the user you want to assign as the site admin to this role.
Configure the necessary permissions for the site admin.
Assign portal access
Go to Users > Users.
Click on the user you've added to the role as the site admin.
Toggle "Portal access" on and assign the newly created role.
Click Save.
Verify site access
Go to the “Access” tab at the top of the user’s page.
Ensure that the user has access to the entries for the specific site.
Click Save.
This process will successfully set up a site-specific admin with limited permissions for the chosen location.
Note: If the user was previously a Super Admin, revoke their Super Admin access and assign only the new role you created.
