Roles and Permissions

Since security is paramount, the Beam API employs somewhat strict account permissions for it’s users and developers. There are two main roles: Owner and User. An Owner of a Beam Controller has administrative privileges over that Controller, including:

• Open and close any door on their account

• View status of all doors on their account

• Add, edit and remove doors

• Add and remove users

• View door history

• Enable or disable 3rd-party integrations

A Beam Controller currently has only one owner but can have unlimited users. A user has more limited permissions and are restricted to the doors they have been invited:

• Open and close invited door(s)

• View status of invited door(s)
