👥 Understanding Ajax User Roles

Ajax lets you assign different levels of control:

Role Permissions
Admin Full control over the system, users, devices, and settings
User Can arm/disarm and view alerts, but can’t change settings or add devices
PRO Installer Access limited to system setup and diagnostics (can be revoked at any time)

✅ You can also set custom names and permissions for each user.

🔄 How to Remove or Edit Users on Your Ajax Alarm

To change access:

  • Go to Settings → Users
  • Tap on the user you want to edit

📲 Why Sharing Access Matters

Adding users to your Ajax system allows:

  • Families to manage home security together
  • Employees to enter sites securely
  • Cleaners, trades, or deliveries to access temporarily
  • Log tracking of who armed/disarmed and when

Ajax sends real-time alerts for all user activity, so you stay in control no matter how many users are connected.

❓FAQs

Q: Can multiple users get alerts from the same system?
Yes, each user can receive alerts and notifications once added.

Q: Do I need to give someone my login to let them use Ajax?
No, use the “Add User” feature. Never share your login for security reasons.

Q: Can I add users who don’t live with me (e.g. a neighbour)?
Yes, anyone with the Ajax app can be added as a user with your permission.

Q: Can I limit what users can do?
Yes, Ajax lets you set individual permissions, roles, and device access for each user.

Adding users to your Ajax alarm system is fast, secure, and incredibly flexible, whether you want to give your partner full access or allow a tradesperson to enter safely during working hours.

With just a few taps in the app, you can expand access while keeping full control.
