Permit-role
In this screen you can create and edit permit roles.The name of the role can be entered in four languages. You can then link the entered role to a permit.
It is also possible to adjust the description of the four fixed roles (Biological Safety Officer, Environmental Safety Officer, Responsible Employee, Production Employee). Here, however, the meaning of the role will not change. In other words, if you change the description of the role 'Biosafety Officer' to 'Project Manager', the role will still be interpreted behind the scenes as the role 'Biosafety Officer'. You are therefore advised not to change the description of the four fixed roles. The meaning of the fixed roles is described below.
