Types of Permissions

This article explains how permissions are structured in Vemcount and what each permission allows a user to do. Permissions are assigned per user and are grouped into functional categories to make access control easier to manage.

Access levels

Depending on the permission, access can be set to one of several levels. Not every permission uses the same set of options.

Permission	What it allows	Important notes
Footfall	Allows the user to report on footfall traffic and view shared footfall dashboards.	If this is Off, the user cannot generate reports and shared footfall dashboards will not display data.
Weather	Allows reporting on weather data and use of weather widgets in dashboards.
Maps	Provides access to Maps, including visual location views and traffic heatmaps.
Age and Gender	Provides access to Age and Gender reporting.
Advanced Period Steps	Provides more granular time interval reporting below 15 minutes.	Each sensor must be configured to report at the same granularity.
Events	Adds an events calendar to the menu and allows events to appear in calendar, charts, and report tables.	Useful for correlating promotions or campaigns with traffic.
Manage Events	Allows the user to add and edit events in the events calendar.
Promote to library	Allows the user to share a dashboard to a library so it can be reused as a template.
Allow embedding	Allows the user to share a dashboard or widget externally by displaying the HTML embed code.
View only	Turns the role into a view-only role.	This setting overrides other activated permissions. Shared dashboards can be viewed, but creation or copying is restricted.
Manage Users	Allows the user to create and manage users.
