Limited-access admin groups can configure IPAM tasks on the Tasks Dashboard only if their administrative permissions are defined. The appliance denies access to IPAM tasks for which an admin group does not have defined permissions.  
You can grant read-only or read/write permission, or deny access to IPAM tasks as follows:

- All IPAM tasks on the Tasks Dashboard
- A specific IPAM task

When you deny access to an IPAM task for an admin group, uses cannot configure the task on their dashboards. Users must have at lease read-only permission to a specific task to see it in the task pack. To perform a specific task, users must also have read/write permission to the objects associated with the task. For information about specific permissions for IPAM, DNS, and DHCP objects, see [Administrative Permissions for IPAM Resources](https://infoblox-docs.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/nios85/pages/35785758), [Administrative Permissions for DNS Resources](https://infoblox-docs.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/nios85/pages/35785599), and [Administrative Permissions for DHCP Resources](https://infoblox-docs.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/nios85/pages/35849885).
