We're thrilled to announce Peridio's new authorization system, bringing fine-grained access controls to your device management workflows. While traditional authorization often forces teams to choose between complete access or no access at all, Peridio's granular authorization enables you to precisely define what each team member can do—empowering them to work confidently within appropriate boundaries.
Enabling Teams to Move with Confidence
Managing connected devices involves many stakeholders—from engineers and QA teams to manufacturing partners and support staff. Each role needs different levels of access to effectively do their job. Peridio's authorization system ensures team members can access exactly what they need, nothing more and nothing less.
Why Fine-Grained Authorization Matters
This isn't just about restricting access—it's about enabling teams to move faster and work more confidently with:
- Reduced Bottlenecks: Safely expand system access beyond a small group of administrators
- Increased Confidence: Team members can work without fear of accidentally affecting production systems
- Faster Onboarding: New team members can start contributing immediately within safe boundaries
- Simplified Collaboration: Securely share device information with external partners and manufacturers
Designed for Real-World Workflows
Hierarchical Permission Management
Peridio's authorization system works the way your teams do:
- Product-Level Control: Grant permissions across entire product lines
- Cohort-Based Access: Manage permissions for specific device groups
- Device-Specific Permissions: Define access at the individual device level when needed
