Manage Login Permission Templates
Rather than manually choosing role permissions for each new login, Login Permission Templates make it much faster to manage large numbers of logins and maintain consistent permissions across them. Login Permission Templates can be created and applied using the Alarm.com customer website.
View existing templates
To view existing templates:
- Log into the Alarm.com customer website.
- Verify the Enterprise name is selected, and not a location name. When the Enterprise group is selected, a Locations option shows in the menu instead of Home.
- If a location is selected, use the dropdown menu to select the Enterprise group. Enterprise groups have next to the Enterprise name, whereas locations will have for commercial accounts or for residential accounts next to the location name.
- If the option to select an Enterprise group is not showing, verify the login has access to the Enterprise group.
- Click Settings.
- Click Login Permission Templates.
