Locations

Efento Cloud allows you to organise your locations and sensors using a flexible, tree-based hierarchy. You can create a structure that fits your needs, whether geographical (e.g., Country > State > City > Building), functional (e.g., Building Type > City > Location), or any other format that aligns with your Organisation.

Adding / editing Locations

Users with Administrator or Manager permissions can edit locations in the Organisation Structure panel on the left side of the screen. The location tree displays all existing locations, starting with the root location, which cannot be deleted and defaults to your Organisation’s name. New locations are added as sub-locations of an existing location.

To add / edit a location:

1. Click the location’s name.

2. Select the three dots on the right to access the menu.

3. Available options:

   • Rename – change the location name

   • Add Sub-location – create a new location under the selected one

   • Remove Location – delete the location

   • Change Parent Location – move the location under a different parent

Important: To remove a location, you must first remove any sub-locations or assigned sensors.

User Permissions

When adding a new user or creating an API token, you can select the specific locations they will have access to. This ensures that users can only view or modify data relevant to their assigned locations, enhancing data security within your Organisation.

Users with Administrator or Manager permissions can manage these settings in the Access panel. Properly assigning permissions helps maintain control over your monitoring system while allowing collaboration across teams.
