We use EnterTrack (http://www.entertrack.org) in my company. We've been
using it for about 2 years and are pretty happy with it. I've also done
some customization to our EnterTrack installation in order to integrate
it with our company intranet. It's focus is on tracking/archiving
issues, so it doesn't have any functionality for asset management. But
it does have a pretty flexible group/permissions system that allows you
to set up multiple groups and provides various levels of access to
users.

At one time, I evaluated phpMyInventory for asset management. There is
the free version (http://phpmyinventory.sourceforge.net/index.php) and
there is also a commercial version. We ended up going with Network
Inventory Analyzer from Alloy
(http://www.alloy-software.com/nin/pro.html). It's a commercial
package, but it was inexpensive (~$1000 for 150 nodes) and met our
needs.

Hope that helps!

Tim
