It would have depended on the size of the camp. The Commandant and his staff, physician(s) and main squadron of guards would have all been SS. Most of the guards and overseers, though, were "kapos", prisoners pressed into guard service by the SS. Many were happy to do it because it meant better food and sleeping conditions, but the kapos were all rotated "out" (gas chamber) on a regular basis, too.
