Overview

Both Project and Quality/CAPA have a Roles option, their functions are similar. This article takes Project's as an example.

Project Roles are used to identify a specific user or users who own a particular set of responsibilities for a given project. In addition to being used for classification and reporting purposes, project roles can be used to automatically assign users to a given workflow:

Project Roles are assigned and viewed on the Roles page of the Project form (Desktop):

Roles are assigned to users on a per Project basis. Project Roles can be used to automatically assign users to signoff workflows. When defining users for signoff stages you can use Project Role indicators. For each Role defined in the Administrator, a Project Role indicator will be listed among the users when assigning signoff users:

When Desktop assigns workflow users for a given object, it will detect Project Role indicators, and then attempt to determine the appropriate users based on the projects assigned to that item.
