How to Manage Device Location Map Access in ControlUp?

Posted on March 26, 2026

A user asked if it was possible to hide/show the device locations map on the ‘overview’ page using RBAC role, with potential privacy concerns. Another user suggested opening a UserVoice to manage the view with RBAC access, and a PM confirmed that the company plans to enable this capability for all customers soon.

Hello guys,

Is it possible to hide/show the device locations map thats is shown on the ‘overview’ page using rbac role?

I couldn’t find it in the roles section


I believe that is by default in place

I wish you could change the overview completely

Like put a dashboard view in its place or something wink wink 😉 @member that’s a nice idea


@member isn’t it also a privacy concern? We don’t want the servicedesk to see this view ideally

Sometimes the location is very accurate. If I look at my own machine in controlup its meters away from my real location


True

I would recommend that you open a UserVoice and ask that the view must be managed by RBAC access and then share the link here that more people can upvote it

@member is the PM for this
