Create advanced access rules

Learn how to create advanced access rules via the web app.

What are advanced access rules?

Advanced access rules allow you to automatically give template and inspection access to site members based on site membership. Through advanced access rules, you can also give template and inspection access to users based on a combination of their membership of groups and sites.

In general, access rules control which templates and inspections your team has access to. Each access rule dictates which user or group can use a template to conduct inspections, and determines who those inspection results become available to.

Advanced access rules are only available to organizations without users who are direct members of more than 20 sites or levels.

If you want to sign your organization up for this feature, please contact our customer support team or your customer success manager for assistance.
