Sage HR administrators can set up a specific employee to manage assets.

EXAMPLE: This could be someone from the IT department if they deal with company computers and laptops.

Asset Administrators have the following permissions:

  • Access reports about assets assigned to employees.

  • View assigned assets in employee's profiles

  • Give and collect assets to and from employees

  • Access Assets settings, including access to the assets inventory and actions with assets


To give them this access you can assign them the permissions role of Assets administrator. We show you how to do this in the steps below.

  1. Click your name in the top-right-hand corner, then click Settings.

  2. On the settings menu, click Permissions, then click Roles.

    You're presented with a list of the different permission roles in Sage HR.

  3. Click on the pencil ✏️ next to Assets administrator.

  4. Select which employees you want to assign. You can select all employees listed as well as filter who shows.

  5. When you're done, click Save.

Great, this user can now manage all aspects related to assets.

📌TIP: You can configure the permissions this role has. Alternatively, you can duplicate this role, then make changes to what it has access to so it is slightly different from the 'Assets administrator' role.
