How to Create a Security Group and Restrict Access to Assets

This article explains how to set up a Security Group in Perspio and assign it to a user to limit their access to assets.

Security Groups in Perspio let you precisely control who sees which assets by bundling assets you wish to provide access into a named group, assigning users (or roles) to that group, and automatically hiding any assets not included—ensuring that each user only has visibility into their designated group and simplifying permissions management across your tenant.

When selecting assets dinamically, build a condition by choosing a criteria of grouping. You can pick:

  • Telemetry: Telemetry data captured by the device, such as External Battery Voltage, Active Status and more;
  • Asset Configuration: Flags and Counters and Status.
