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.
