Authorized signers are users who have permission to sign documents and CAPA items on behalf of a department, in addition to the department manager. They help ensure that approvals can continue smoothly, even if the manager is unavailable.
Authorized signers are configured in the Departments module, where you can assign one or more users to each department. Once a user is added as an authorized signer, they can approve documents and CAPA items according to the responsibilities defined for that department.
For detailed instructions on adding and managing authorized signers, please see the “Add a New Department” article. Begin by opening the applicable department from the list view, then continue from Step 9. Following these steps ensures your department’s approval workflow is properly configured and that all documents are signed by the appropriate personnel.
