Introducing User Directories and License Groups

Enterprise organizations face a critical challenge in managing physical security across a global footprint: balancing regional autonomy with centralized control. Traditional approaches often force security teams to choose between bottlenecking operations through central IT, over-distributing admin privileges, or fragmenting control across disconnected systems. 

Global enterprises also require distinct renewal timelines and budgets for different regions, making it difficult to maintain efficiency and autonomy. For organizations that operate across hundreds of locations and manage thousands of users, these compromises quickly become unsustainable in today’s dynamic security landscape.

Verkada Command now streamlines operations through two new flexible administrative tools: User Directories and License Groups. User Directories enable organizations to create regional boundaries for users and permissions that mirror their organizational structure, allowing local IT teams to manage their specific user base while central IT teams maintain oversight. This gives dispersed offices autonomy to complete actions such as adding and deleting users without having to submit a ticket to a central IT team. 

License Groups complement this feature by providing the same regional-level control over licensing. Now, Verkada customers benefit from having all physical security systems in one place, yet keep licenses and renewals separate for each regional budget.

For instance, a global enterprise can enable its New York office to manage local door access and renewal cycles independently from the London location. Even though local sites can make their own decisions on users and licenses, the global security team maintains visibility and control through Verkada Command’s unified platform.

These new solutions deliver pivotal capabilities for enterprise security administration, bridging the gap between regional independence and unified oversight. By segmenting both user administration and license management while preserving central oversight, organizations can now scale their security operations across borders without compromising on control or efficiency.
