Roles and Permissions in Inspections & Audits

Prev Next

The Inspections & Audits application in Serenity is designed to support collaboration across your team—while ensuring that only authorized users can perform critical functions like template creation, assignment, and administration. This guide explains who can do what based on their assigned role.


Default Access

By default, any user can:

  • View and complete inspection tasks assigned to them

  • View and complete inspection tasks assigned to groups they are a member of

This ensures that front-line users can participate in inspections without requiring special roles.


Inspection Roles

These roles can be granted via the Access Management page within the Serenity Workspace:

User

  • Can create inspection tasks using:

    • Templates they own

    • Templates explicitly shared with them by template owners

  • Can view and complete inspection tasks:

    • Opened by them

    • Assigned directly to them

    • Assigned to a group they belong to

    • Shared with them via template configuration (if allowed)

  • Can edit templates that they are the owner of

Manager

  • Inherits the permissions of the user role

  • Can reopen closed inspection tasks

💡 Great for team leads or site safety managers needing broader oversight

Template Editor

  • Can create new templates

  • Can view and edit all templates, including those they do not own

Admin

  • Has full access to all inspections and templates

  • Can view, edit, delete, and reopen any inspections or template

Template-Level Permissions

Serenity’s inspections are built from reusable templates. These templates can be configured by their owners to control who can:

  • Create new inspections using the template

  • View and complete inspections created from the template

As a Template Owner, You Can:

  • Share a template with specific users or groups

  • Control view and usage rights for each audience

Set default permissions for new inspections created from the template
