In itemit, Admin Permissions are key to managing your team's access and control levels across your asset tracking system. Whether you're overseeing a large organisation or a small team, setting the right permissions ensures security and smooth collaboration. Let's break down the two types of admin permissions: Full Access and Partial Access.

Full Access Admins

Admins with Full Access have complete control over the workspace. This includes:

  • Managing user access (add/remove users)

  • Editing all assets and collections

  • Creating and assigning reports

  • Adjusting settings such as custom fields, labels, and categories

  • Viewing all data and export history

This role is ideal for workspace owners or IT/system managers responsible for overseeing the entire asset management system.

Partial Access Admins

Partial Access Admins have elevated permissions but with limited control. They can:

  • View and edit assets they have access to

  • Create collections or reports related to their assigned assets

  • Use operational features without changing global settings or user roles

This role works well for team leads or department heads who need control over certain areas but shouldn't access sensitive settings.

Why It Matters

Setting the correct admin level:

  • Protects sensitive data

  • Prevents accidental changes to system-wide configurations

  • Keeps teams focused on the areas they’re responsible for

You can customise access per user under your workspace settings, ensuring clarity and control across your organisation.

In Conclusion

Understanding the distinction between Full and Partial Admin Permissions in itemit is essential for maintaining efficient and secure asset management. By assigning the appropriate level of access to each team member, organisations can ensure data integrity, streamline workflows, and maintain control over key functions. Whether you're managing a small team or a large operation, choosing the right permissions helps align user roles with responsibilities.
