Read asset policy settings
Asset Settings Policy teaches asset teams how to control tenant asset settings, movement controls, permissions, and policy impact. In AWRA, assets are accountable objects: they have identity, condition, custodian, location, movement history, and evidence.
The practical habit is to avoid treating assets like anonymous stock. Once an item becomes accountable equipment, every assignment, movement, condition change, or audit result should explain who had custody and why.
In practice, an admin tests a stricter movement approval setting before rolling it out to field teams. The flow below shows the core asset path users should understand before acting.
