Overview
Administrators can now control whether JSA authors have the ability to modify or delete the Job Safety Analyses (JSAs) they have personally created. These permissions help maintain the integrity of your safety records, prevent accidental data loss, and ensure a single source of truth for finalized reports.
Note: Administrators always retain full rights to edit or delete any JSA in the system, regardless of these user-specific settings.
How to Configure Author Permissions
Log in to the SafetyReports Web Portal and select the JSAs tab from the top navigation bar.
Click JSA User Maint from the left-hand sidebar menu.
Locate the specific Author and click the Edit (pencil) icon at the end of their row.
Scroll to the Permissions section at the bottom of the user record to view the access options.
Select or deselect the User can edit existing JSA Reports and User can delete existing JSA Reports checkboxes to set your desired access level.
Click the green Update button to save the changes.
Mobile App Impact
The permissions set in the Web Portal apply to both the web and the mobile app immediately. No app store update is required for these changes to take effect.
Mobile Access Guidelines:
Permission Enforcement: If an administrator disables these permissions, the author will no longer be able to modify or remove any JSAs they have submitted.
Author Limits: Users are only ever able to edit or delete JSAs that they personally created; they cannot modify reports created by others.
Feature Visibility: If the "Edit" or "Delete" options are missing on the mobile device, it indicates the administrator has restricted these actions for that user record.
⚠️ Important: This guide applies only to the JSA App in Safety Reports. The steps and features described do not apply to other apps, including:
Inspections App, Forms App, Observations App, Incident App, Incidents App, Safety Scan App, Training App.
