Windchill CAPA Roles
Based on your CAPA role, you can perform different activities, tasks, and actions. However, all CAPA users can access CAPA tasks in read-only mode. An administrator defines permission levels for CAPA users. Windchill CAPA provides default roles for CAPA users. If you are an administrator, you can manage CAPA roles in the Members table. For more information, see Members Table.
CAPA records often require authorizations, reviews, and signatures. The number and types of approvers, the order in which they review the record, and other aspects of the routing are configurable. The default configuration provided by Windchill CAPA contains approvals for the following tasks:
• CAPA Plan
• CAPA Implementation
• CAPA Confirmation
• CAPA Effectiveness
You must be assigned at least one of these roles to perform a CAPA task:
