Dashcam rechecks recording and evidence actions on the server. Grant only the actions each role needs. | ACE node | Purpose | | -------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | | dashcam.use | Configured base access node; action-specific permissions are still required | | dashcam.record | Start recordings and save the current buffer in an eligible vehicle | | dashcam.review\.own | List and replay the user's own recordings | | dashcam.review\.department | List and replay recordings from the user's department | | dashcam.review\.all | List and replay all accessible Dashcam recordings | | dashcam.annotate | Add notes and markers or update incident-related fields on accessible evidence | | dashcam.classify | Change an accessible recording's classification | | dashcam.archive | Archive records and change their retention | | dashcam.lock | Lock or unlock records | | dashcam.delete | Permanently delete unlocked and unpreserved records with a reason | | dashcam.admin | Use protected administrative diagnostics when available | ## Example roles ```cfg # Drivers can record, review their own evidence, and add markers or notes. add_ace group.dashcamusers dashcam.use allow add_ace group.dashcamusers dashcam.record allow add_ace group.dashcamusers dashcam.review.own allow add_ace group.dashcamusers dashcam.annotate allow # Supervisors can review and manage evidence for their department. add_ace group.dashcamsupervisors dashcam.use allow add_ace group.dashcamsupervisors dashcam.record allow add_ace group.dashcamsupervisors dashcam.review.department allow add_ace group.dashcamsupervisors dashcam.annotate allow add_ace group.dashcamsupervisors dashcam.classify allow add_ace group.dashcamsupervisors dashcam.archive allow add_ace group.dashcamsupervisors dashcam.lock allow # Administrators can review all evidence and use protected actions. add_ace group.dashcamadmins dashcam.use allow add_ace group.dashcamadmins dashcam.record allow add_ace group.dashcamadmins dashcam.review.all allow add_ace group.dashcamadmins dashcam.annotate allow add_ace group.dashcamadmins dashcam.classify allow add_ace group.dashcamadmins dashcam.archive allow add_ace group.dashcamadmins dashcam.lock allow add_ace group.dashcamadmins dashcam.delete allow add_ace group.dashcamadmins dashcam.admin allow ``` Assign player identifiers to these groups using your server's existing ACE structure. If supervisors or administrators also need to review their own evidence through a different role layout, grant review\.own as well or configure group inheritance. ## Framework job grades When Events Core is configured for a supported framework, on-duty jobs can authorize Dashcam actions through eventsDashcam/config/permissions.lua: * JobGrades controls standard actions such as recording, own or departmental review, and annotations. * ElevatedJobGrades controls review-all, classification, archive, lock, deletion, and administrative actions. The shipped jobs are police, sheriff, ambulance, and fire. Their standard minimum grade is 0 and elevated minimum grade is 2. Change these values to match your framework's grade numbering and department policy. ## Trusted integrations Leave Config.Permissions.TrustedResources empty unless a reviewed integration's installation instructions explicitly require access. Adding a resource to this list grants it a trusted server-side evidence lookup path; it does not grant players additional permissions. ## Least-privilege guidance * Give normal drivers review\.own instead of review\.all. * Give review\.department only to roles that should see coworkers' evidence. * Restrict classify, archive, lock, and delete to supervisors or evidence custodians. * Keep dashcam.delete separate from normal recording and review roles. * Test permissions with a non-administrator account before launch. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.sonoransoftware.com/store/dashcam/permissions.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
