Job Description
Insight Global is seeking a Verkada Access Control Specialist for a top client looking to modernize and rationalize its physical-security access environment. This individual will take ownership of assessing several years of accumulated Verkada users, groups, door permissions, camera permissions, and access configurations, then transform the environment into a clean, scalable, and maintainable role-based access model.
Inventory existing Verkada users, groups, roles, doors, cameras, sites, and access assignments. Map existing access groups to the specific doors, facilities, cameras, and camera groups they authorize. Analyze approximately six years of accumulated access groups and configurations to understand their current purpose and identify unnecessary complexity. Identify duplicate, obsolete, overlapping, inconsistently named, or overly permissive groups. Reconcile Verkada identities against Active Directory and Microsoft Entra ID to identify terminated, disabled, duplicate, or otherwise invalid accounts. Identify potentially orphaned physical and camera access and remediate access discrepancies. Rationalize the current environment into a cleaner, standardized RBAC model based on legitimate job function, location, and access requirements. Establish naming conventions and governance standards for new doors, groups, facilities, and access profiles. Review existing Admin and All Access memberships and reduce unnecessary privileged access while preserving legitimate operational requirements. Work with facility stakeholders onsite to understand floor plans, door placement, and actual employee traffic flows. Document both the existing and future-state access model. Create procedures and training materials for IT, security, and HR explaining how physical-access assignments should be managed and the risks of inappropriate privileged-group membership. Develop a repeatable JML process so Verkada access is appropriately provisioned, modified, and removed when employees join, transfer roles/locations, or leave. Where practical, incorporate Verkada entitlement information into the broader identity/audit process to highlight AD, Entra ID, and Verkada access discrepancies.
