Only the system administrator can set permissions for inventories
Access to inventories is governed by your role
You set the permissions to work with inventories for each role. Roles typically correspond to the job title of a specific person in the company (user). This ensures that only authorized persons have access to inventories.
You set access according to your company's practices and needs. Recommendations for setting inventory permissions are as follows:
- Allow only the administrator or one other role (e.g. asset manager) access to the inventory settings, others do not need this
- Select one role, typically the CEO or CFO, to see all inventory
- Set other responsible persons to run only their inventories
