VideoProtects User Roles
This article outlines how VideoProtects User Roles and Permissions are managed within the Geotab portal. Only Super Admins can assign or adjust Roles, which determine the level of access a user has to features such as Video Events, Video Recall, Configuration Settings, and Administrative Functions. Roles range from limited “View Only” access, to “View + Edit” for Video Events or Video Recall, to “Admin” with full configuration and video management rights, and finally “Super Admin,” which allows assigning and revoking Roles for other users. These Permissions ensure proper control, security, and oversight of VideoProtects system functionality within a fleet.
Note: Only users with Super Admin access can adjust other User Toles and Permissions. See below for a full list of Permissions.
