Users and access
Users and roles in playground inspection
The three roles, what each one may do, and how responsibility should be split between finding and fixing.
Updated
Short answer
There are three roles. Admin has everything, including settings and access. Member does everything day to day — inspections, defects and documentation — but not settings. Inspector can see the status and carry out inspections, but cannot close defects or produce documentation. The organisation always has to have at least one admin.
How to do it in Lekko
As an admin you can invite more people into the organisation under Settings. The person invited gets an e-mail and is connected to the organisation the first time they sign in.
The roles
- Admin: everything, including Settings and managing access.
- Member: everything day to day — inspections, defects and documentation — but not Settings.
- Inspector: can see the status and carry out inspections, but cannot close or change defects, and has no access to documentation or settings.
The organisation always has to have at least one admin. You can change somebody's role, or remove them, from the same page.
The person who walks the round and the person who decides on the repair are often not the same person, and that is the point rather than a problem. What needs writing down somewhere is the route between them: a critical defect that gets stuck between the person who found it and the person who pays for the repair is the most common reason a known fault stays in use.
Background
Why the Inspector role exists
The person who walks the round and the person who decides on the repair are often not the same person, and that is a feature rather than a problem. A caretaker or a stand-in should be able to record what they see without being able to close a defect they have not put right.
What needs to be written down somewhere is the route from finding to decision. A critical defect that gets stuck between the person who found it and the person who pays for the repair is the single most common reason a piece of equipment stays in use with a known fault.
Lekko builds on EN 1176 and EN 1177. It says that the equipment has been checked against those standards — not that any national requirement has been met. What makes the standard binding is national law, and that differs across the countries this market covers, so we do not claim to know what applies where you are.

This article gives a practical account of the requirements. It does not reproduce the standards EN 1176 and EN 1177, and it does not replace the annual main inspection by a competent person. If you are unsure what applies to your playground, ask a competent person or the relevant authority in your own country.
