Admin role
What Admins can do, the few things they can't, and how they differ from Managers.
Admins run the organization day to day. They hold almost every permission an Owner has, including settings, invitations, invoices and payroll.
What Admins can do that Managers can't
These are the permissions an Admin holds by default and a Manager doesn't:
- Settings and connections: Manage settings, Manage integrations, Manage secrets, and Create API keys, View API keys and Delete API keys.
- Invitations: Manage invitations, so Admins can invite people from the Members list at Admin level or below.
- Invoices: every invoice permission, from View invoices to Send invoices, Approve invoices and Change invoice status, and the invoice print templates. See Create and send invoices.
- Payroll: View payroll, Create payroll, Update payroll and Delete payroll, which cover pay rates. See Pay rates.
- Money: Process payments and View finance reports.
- SMS setup: Manage SMS.
- Documents: Delete documents.
- Workpacks: Override workpack status.
- Sensitive worker data: See sensitive worker data, for worker custom fields, competency notes and competency documents marked sensitive. See the Permissions reference.
What Admins can't do
By default an Admin doesn't have:
- Manage billing.
- Delete Schedule of Values.
- Override workpacks, to sign off a row that is blocked by a hold point or waiting for a witness.
- Delete cost codes, which Assignar Pay also checks when you delete cost-code categories, materials, activities, worker roles and allowances. Managers and Owners have it.
- Delete assets, which Assignar Pay checks when you delete assets and asset classes. Managers and Owners have it.
An Admin also can't act on Owners or on other Admins: they can change, adjust or remove Managers, Field users and Visitors only.
