Roles and Permissions in Risk Management

Prev Next

Serenity's Risk Management application offers a powerful and flexible permissions model that supports safe, scalable collaboration across teams. Whether you're running a one-time hazard analysis or rolling out standardized risk protocols across global sites, access controls ensure the right people can create, review, and complete assessments securely.

Default Access

  • Anyone can complete a risk assessment assigned to them or a group they belong to—no elevated permissions required.

  • Creating new assessments or managing templates requires a designated risk assessment role.

  • Template-specific permissions further refine who can use and view each template.

Risk Assessment Roles

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

Risk User

  • Can create risk assessments using:

    • Templates they own

    • Templates explicitly shared with them by template owners

  • Can view and complete assessments:

    • 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

Risk Manager

  • Inherits the permissions of the user role

  • Can reopen closed risk assessments

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

Risk Template Editor

  • Can create new templates

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

Risk Admin

  • Has full access to all risk assessments and templates

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

💡Ideal for system admins, EHS directors, or corporate-level roles

Template-Level Permissions

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

  • Create new assessments using the template

  • View and complete assessments 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 assessments created from the template

By combining system roles and template-level controls, Serenity provides a fine-grained permissions model that adapts to teams of any size or complexity.
