2026-04-29Last updated

To provide users with more access than the default Genetec ClearID™ permissions allow, an Account administrator can grant additional permissions to identities and roles.

Procedure

  1. From the Home page, click Administration > Permissions .
  2. Click Add permissions.
  3. In the Permissions dialog, select either Identities or Roles.
  4. If you selected Identities, complete the following:
    1. In the Identities field, enter up to 20 identities to grant extra access.
    2. In the Permissions section, select the permissions to grant.
      View
      Access to view identities is granted by default.
      Manage
      Select Manage to allow users to modify identities.

      If the identity is synchronized with an external data source, changes can be overwritten during synchronization. Use Manage for identities added manually in ClearID.

    3. In the Reason field, explain why the access is being granted.
      Permissions dialog in ClearID with the identities tab selected and fields completed.
  5. If you selected Roles, complete the following:
    1. In the Roles field, enter up to 20 roles to grant extra access.
    2. In the Permissions section, select the permissions to grant.
      View
      Access to view identities is granted by default.

  6. To submit your changes, click Add identities or Add roles.
The specified identities or roles now have the required permissions to view and manage identities.
