Roles & Permissions - How to enable & disable modules for Observer?

Hello and Welcome to WeGuard Enterprise Visual Knowledge-base Series.

In this KB article, We will explain how to enable & disable modules for the Observer role. 


Here are the current modules in WeGuard,

  • Devices

  • Policy Groups

  • Reports

  • Geo Track

  • WeBox

  • Broadcast

  • Audit Logs

  • WeTalk


Modules can be added/modified to Observer in two scenarios,

  1. While Adding Observer

  2. Updating for existing Observer


Now lets see how to enable/disable in both the scenarios,

While Adding Observer:

  • Login to WeGuard Console with valid credentials.

  • Go to "Roles & Permissions".

  • For the first time you will notice only account administrator else list of created users will be displayed.

  • Click on the "+" (plus) button.


  • Fill-in the details with relevant information for the role "Observer".


  1. Email - Enter valid email-ID of the user.

  2. Role - Select the role. In this case it will be Observer.

  3. Password - Give a valid password.

  4. Confirm Password - Confirm the given password.

  5. Select group name - Select the groups to which you would like to give access to.

  6. Select the module - Select the modules to be visible for the Observer on left menu.


  • As an example, 3 modules are selected (shown below).


  • Once a user is added to the account, you would notice something like below.

  • When the user login, s/he will see only the enabled modules on left menu. As a part of example, tech@acmecrop.com user will see only DEVICES, POLICY GROUPS & REPORTS on left menu.


Updating for existing group:

  • Login to WeGuard Console.

  • Go to Roles & Permissions.

  • Select the user to which you are willing to add/update modules and click on edit  (pencil) icon.

NOTE : Unlike the picture shown below, for existing observers, ALL modules will be selected. After the new release, it is highly recommended to update the modules at least once


  • Go to modules and click on the drop down and add/modify modules and click on save.


  • Upon saving the changes, notice the user that module shows as ALL.


  • The user will now have access to all modules from the left menu.
