Written by Caim Hermoso

Who this is for: Audit Administrators.

These are the permissions as they appear in View Role, grouped exactly as the screen groups them.

Two pairs are easy to confuse:

  • Manage My Audit Templates lets someone work with templates. Submit Audit Template Request only lets them ask Sevron to build a new one.

  • Manage Findings, Manage Root Cause and Manage Corrective Actions are separate, so a role can record findings without being able to assign actions, or the other way round.
