Role Descriptions

- Governing Body: Broad read access across the platform with write access to Training and Staff Onboarding. Can oversee compliance status, audit trails, and staff records.
- Senior Manager: Read access to most modules. Write access to Training only. No access to Staff Onboarding.

Onboarding Rules
The ability to onboard users into the Compliance Centre is role-dependent. The following rules apply:
- Governing Body (GB) → Can onboard the Compliance Officer (CO) only.
- Compliance Officer (CO) → Can onboard Governing Body (GB), Senior Manager (SM) and Client Facing Staff.
- Compliance Officer (CO) → Cannot onboard another Compliance Officer.
- Combined role (CO + GB or CO + SM) → The CO permissions take precedence, and the user is permitted to onboard others as a CO would.
This structure ensures that compliance oversight responsibilities are appropriately assigned and that administrative access is granted only through authorised channels.
