Unit privacy in Nebula Beta
Overview
The unit privacy option allows you to limit the control that owners and system managers have over units. When enabled, owners and system managers can see neither events that take place on the unit's activity section nor manage the users that belong to that unit. They only have limited management capacity in those units where unit privacy is turned on.
This feature is intended to be used in situations where a system manager or owner hands over the management of a unit to a unit manager. The unit privacy feature avoids system managers and owners being able to track all the unlocking activity and user modification updates, etc. that take place in the installation. It is intended to be used when the system manager doesn't need to know if a unit manager invites a friend or if the friend unlocks the main front door.
Units must have at least one unit manager for unit privacy to be enabled.
Enable privacy
Privacy can be enabled on a per unit basis. This means that when you create a unit, you have the option to enable privacy for that specific unit.
To enable this option, go to Units > Create and enable the Privacy checkbox.
You can enable the 'Privacy' option when you create a unit
With the privacy option enabled, once you move in the unit and add the first users, you will no longer see the Users or Activity tabs in that unit. You will only be able to see the list of accesses that belong to the unit.
Note that once it's moved in, the status of the unit changes to Occupied.
System managers can only see access rights in the unit when unit privacy is turned on
Privacy status
You can check at a glance which units have privacy enabled by looking at the list of units in your installation.

Disable privacy
You can disable unit privacy by using the Edit option and unchecking the Unit privacy checkbox.
As a system manager or owner, if you disable privacy on a specific unit, from that moment onwards you will see the activity and users of the unit. However, you will not see activity that took place in the unit from the moment privacy was first enabled until the moment you disable it.
Only once you move out the unit and its status changes to Vacant, will you be able add users again.
Unit privacy cannot be disabled until you move out the unit.
