Add or Edit a Smartphone Role

The first step to granting access is creating a role. Roles determine the access a user has—which devices they have smartkeys to and at what times their smartkeys are valid.

Each user can have as many roles as they need. However, a user cannot have two roles with access to the same device. When a role is edited, all users associated with that role will have their smartkeys updated automatically.

Whenever a new VIZpin Smart Device is added to your account a role with 24/7 access to it is automatically created.

Editing a role will automatically adjust the access of all users assigned that role.

Instructions

  1. Login to VIZpin.net

  2. Click Additional Actions

  3. Click Manage Roles

  4. Click Manage Smartphone Roles

  5. Click Add New Role or select a role and click Edit

  6. Enter a Name for the role

  7. Select the access that desired for each Smart Device by choosing either None, 24x7, or Custom.

    1. If None is selected users with this role will not have any access to this Smart Device.

    2. If 24x7 is selected users with this role will be able to trigger the Smart Device at all times- 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

    3. If Custom is selected, you will need to designate the days and times that this role should have access.

      1. Start by clicking the add days and times button, in the popup window, select the day and time to start as well as the end.

      2. You cannot have schedules carry over from day to day. You will need to end at 11:59pm on one day and start on 12:00am the next day.

      3. You cannot have multiple start times on the same day

  8. Click Save
