Limited Administrator User Type Overview

Quick overview of functionality and notes on our Limited Administrator user type

Updated over 3 weeks ago

Available On: Lite, Starter, Professional and Business Plus


Full admin users enjoy unrestricted access to their UpKeep accounts, with the ability to view and modify settings, work orders, People & Teams, approve work requests, and more.

However, for users who require UpKeep functionality without the authority to alter critical items due to security considerations, we've introduced a new user type: Limited Admins. These users occupy a middle ground between full admins and technician users. πŸ›‘οΈπŸ‘₯πŸ”§πŸ‘¨β€πŸ’ΌπŸ‘©β€πŸ’Ό
