Online user roles have been created to give fisheries business licence/certificate holders control over the level of access others can have to transact or view confidential information on the holders’ behalf.
A number of roles have been created specifically for Managed Fishery Licence (MFL) and Registered Receiver Certificate /Processor Licence (RRC/PROL) Holders. Each role has a different level of access to information and transaction services linked to the nominating licence/certificate holder. You can nominate a person into more than one role, if required
It is important that you read about each role and understand the access you are authorising before nominating a person to an online user role.
