Give inspection access to users and groups

Learn how to give inspection access to users and groups to control who can view, edit, or manage inspections via the web app and the mobile app.

What is inspection access?

Inspection access grants users visibility over inspections in SafetyCulture. Access levels determine the extent to which users can modify inspections. Note the following access levels to make sure that only intended stakeholders can view, edit, or delete certain inspections:

  • View: Allows users to view (read-only) the inspection report.

  • View, edit: Allows users to view the inspection report, edit its content, and manage access.

  • View, edit, delete: Allows users to view the inspection report, edit its content and manage access, as well as archive and delete it. This access level can only be given by users who already have it.

You can also create advanced access rules to give template and inspection access based on site membership.
