The eGuard Permissions page can be found in eGuard at the top tab bar. Permissions allow you to grant and manage user privileges, as well as request access from other eGuard users.

Permissions for each level are described at the top of the page:

• User: View the Permissions, Groups, and Devices assigned to them.
• Manager: Creation/modification of Groups and assignment/modification of Devices within Groups, in addition to User permissions.
• Administrator: Assignment/modification of Users in Groups, in addition to User and Manager permissions.

Request Access

If you have no privileges, you may request access from another eGuard user via username. If no other user has permission to the group, eGauge Support will need to be contacted to grant initial access to a user.

Create Group Permission

You can grant additional privileges to users here, such as to additional sub-groups for groups you administrate.

User Permissions

A table displays of all user permissions to groups you administrate, displaying the group and permission level for each user login. Sub-groups are separated by colons.

Permission Examples

General Description

For example, given groups:

Fruit:Pear

Fruit:Apple:Fiji

Here, Fruit is the parent to Pear, and Fruit is also the parent to Apple. If a user has access rights to group Fruit, those access rights also apply to Pear and Apple, and any sub-groups of those such as Fiji.

If a user has access rights to Pear, those rights would not apply to Apple or Fiji or any devices directly under Fruit.

Similarly, a user with rights to Fiji would have no rights to devices under Pear or Apple or Fruit, only access to those devices under the Fiji sub-group.

Example from eGuard

Here is the effective user permission list:

If there were additional groups and devices under Sunnyvale: Main Housing such as Sunnyvale: Main Housing: East and Sunnyvale: Main Housing: West, then user3 would also have user permissions to devices in that group.
