# Permissions for Inspections

# **Permissions for Inspections**

Inspection permissions in uAuditor control **who can create, view, edit, and delete inspections** across your organization.

These permissions are managed through **roles and access levels**, ensuring users only interact with inspections relevant to their responsibilities and assigned locations.

Proper permission configuration helps maintain data security, accountability, and operational structure.

## **Why Inspection Permissions Matter**

Inspection permissions help organizations:

- protect sensitive inspection data
- control access across locations
- ensure accountability for inspection activities
- prevent unauthorized edits or deletions
- structure workflows across teams
- support compliance and audit requirements

They ensure inspection activities remain organized and secure.

## **Types of Inspection Permissions**

Depending on role configuration, users may be allowed to:

- create inspections
- view inspections
- edit inspections
- delete inspections
- view inspection reports
- complete assigned inspections
- access inspections within specific locations only

Administrators define these permissions when configuring roles.

## **Location-Based Inspection Access**

uAuditor supports location-level permission control.

This means users may:

- view inspections only in assigned locations
- create inspections only within authorized branches
- edit inspections related to their operational scope
- manage inspections across all locations (administrators)

Location-based access ensures structured visibility across distributed teams.

## **Template-Based Inspection Access**

Organizations may also control inspection access through templates.

Depending on configuration:

- some users can access only specific templates
- some templates may be restricted to certain locations
- inactive templates cannot be used to create inspections

This helps standardize inspection workflows across departments.

## **Editing Permissions for Inspections**

Editing permissions determine whether users can:

- modify responses
- update attachments
- complete unfinished inspections
- correct checklist entries

Editing rights typically apply to:

- inspection creators
- assigned inspectors
- administrators
- supervisors with extended access

Completed inspection editing depends on system configuration.

## **Deleting Inspection Permissions**

Inspection deletion is usually limited to authorized roles such as:

- administrators
- location managers
- inspection owners (optional configuration)

Restricting deletion helps preserve compliance records and reporting accuracy.

## **Viewing Inspection Reports**

Some users may be allowed to:

- view inspection summaries only
- view full inspection reports
- export inspection reports
- access inspections across multiple locations

Report visibility depends on role configuration.

## **Managing Permissions Through Roles**

Inspection permissions are configured inside the Roles module.

Administrators can:

- create custom roles
- assign inspection access levels
- define editing rights
- control deletion permissions
- restrict access by location

This allows organizations to align inspection access with operational responsibilities.

## **Best Practices for Configuring Inspection Permissions**

To maintain structured inspection workflows:

- assign inspection creation rights only to responsible users
- restrict deletion permissions to administrators
- apply location-based visibility where possible
- review permissions regularly
- align inspection access with organizational hierarchy

Well-configured permissions improve accountability and operational control across your organization.
