Who can do what in Food and Beverage QMS

Assign the people who record checks, decide quality outcomes and follow corrective work.

How permissions work

Keep the decision separate

Quality Inspector records check evidence; Quality Manager reviews inspection disposition and corrective action plans.

Use a named owner

Inspections, audit findings and corrective actions point to People records, which connect to Users.

Rehearse access

Test each role with a real inspection and an approval before the first operating cycle.
