Additional User Access Now Available!

We’re excited to announce that a popular feature request from our Community is now available - Additional User Access! Now you can grant system access to other users without needing to share your account’s login credentials. Users on your account can arm and disarm your system, cancel or escalate an alarm, and more with the SimpliSafe® app!

Users may only be added from within the SimpliSafe® Mobile App on your phone or tablet. To add a user, follow the steps below:

  1. Update your SimpliSafe® Mobile App to the latest version
  2. Open the SimpliSafe® Mobile App on your phone or tablet
  3. Choose My System from the bottom navigation bar
  4. Select System Access from the bottom of this screen
  5. Click on Add User
  6. Fill out each field with the person’s name and email address
  7. Tap on Add New User when you’re done
  8. Choose Confirm to confirm they have an account
  9. If successful, you’ll receive a confirmation screen that reads: New email added!
  10. You can select Done if you are done, or choose Add Another User if you need to add additional Users

For more information about this feature, please visit our Help Center’s Additional User Access for SimpliSafe® article.

Should an added user be able to receive push notifications?  That option isn't showing for the user I added. They can get email and SMS notifications.

@Pack Yes, Users on your account should be able to receive push notifications. We previously submitted your case to our tech team to look into further. We see that they reached out to you, so please check your voicemail and email for next steps.

Got one call that I missed a week ago. They haven't called back or given instructions on voice mail.  Please have them email me steps.   Thanks.

When should an Additional User expect the System Control widget to work?  After such a long wait for this feature—including launching a year after it was promised—it feels like an incomplete implementation because the widget perpetually displays a "You need to login to use the widget" message even for a user who is already authenticated within the app.

@simplisafe_admin​, thanks for the reply.  For whatever it's worth, I updated the app today to 7.26.0, and the widget is still broken even after I re-authenticate with the app and drop a new copy of the widget on my phone's home screen.

What are all the limitations placed on the user account? Can they change settings, delete videos, deactivate cams?

@drhodes​, I think the article linked in the initial post answers your second question.

@drhodes Users on your account cannot remove an Owner from the system, change/see billing information, and they have limited access to Active Guard Outdoor Protection functions. 

 

Users can:

  • Arm and disarm the system remotely

  • Cancel or escalate alarms

  • View timeline, activity, system status, and live camera streams

  • View, download, and delete video recordings

  • Manage alert and notification settings

  • Manage device and system settings
