Roles and permissions

What each permission allows, and how to add a user or change what someone can do.

Updated Sep 28, 2026 · 3 min read

Access is deny-by-default: every screen and action needs a specific permission, and workspace owners hold them all. Screens you don’t have permission for show a “permission required” message instead.

  1. Know the nine permissions

    View (see assets and reports) · Create (add assets) · Edit (update, move, tag, check out, work orders) · Delete · Manage (locations, categories, custom fields, PM schedules) · Finance (cost fields, depreciation, disposal) · Audit (stock-takes) · Devices (readers, zones, tag orders, NFC links) · Alerts (alert rules, acknowledge alerts).

  2. Combine them into roles

    Typical examples: an auditor has View + Audit; finance has View + Finance; a technician has View + Edit; security has View + Devices + Alerts.

  3. Add a user or change a role

    Users and their permissions are set up by your workspace owner.

Questions

No. Finance fields are removed from what they can see and from what they can change, even through the API.
