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.
Path in Vemcount: ⚙ Cogwheel icon → Users → Select user → Permissions & Access → Permissions
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. | |
