Understanding Admin Users

An admin user in BuildPass is anyone with access to the Admin App. This can be accessed via a web browser at app.buildpass.com.au. Admin users are listed on the BuildPass Users page.
​

Admin User Roles

Admin users can be assigned one of three roles, each with different levels of access:

  • Project Manager – Can only access the specific projects assigned to them.

  • Manager – Has access to all projects and can add or remove other managers and project managers.

  • Owner – Has full access to all projects, can manage users, and cannot be removed by anyone except another owner.

This hierarchy ensures that owners have the highest level of control, followed by managers, and then project managers who have project-specific permissions.

Who should be an Admin?

If you're deciding whether someone should be an admin, consider whether they need to access features that are only available in the Admin App (not the Worker App). Admin users typically manage tasks such as:

  • Reviewing inductions, SWMS, insurances, tickets, and white cards.

  • Managing site diaries, including attendance, photos, and reports.

  • Handling registers, defects, actions, and toolbox talks.

  • Overseeing safety features, including SDS management, SWMS approvals, pre-starts, and manual inductions.

If any of these responsibilities apply, the user should be set up as an admin.
