Overview
The View-only admin is a user role for users who need the ability to view but not edit all data within Ramp.
Previously, this level of data access was only available to Admins. Below are some personas that would be a good fit for this role:
- Auditors (both internal and external) who need to review Ramp data on some recurring cadence.
- FP&A teams who wish to export transaction data
- HR teams who wish to review users who have access to Ramp
As part of the role, View-only admins have access to all the same pages as Admins, except they cannot 1) edit any data on the app and 2) conduct any spend or reimbursement-related activity.
Note: currently View-only admin is only available as a standalone role, not an add-on privilege like AP clerk.
