Manage inspection access
Learn about inspection access and how to give and remove inspection access via the web app and the mobile app to control who can view, edit, or manage inspections.What is inspection access?
Inspection access controls who can view and modify inspections in SafetyCulture. Access levels define what users can do with an inspection, from viewing the inspection report to editing its content or removing it entirely. This helps organizations ensure that only the right people can view, edit, or delete inspection results.
There are three access levels:
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.
