Hi,

Re your first question about the specimen coordinator role, there's no current way to do what you would like. A role, such as Specimen Coordinator, has a fixed set of permissions associated with it. There is not a way to give a user that role, but subtract from the permission set. There is also not a way to give a user a set of permissions or to create a custom role with the set of permissions you want. You can only give a user one or more of the existing roles for various folders.

Re your second question, we do not enforce the requirements you place on requests. We'll tell you if they are not complete, but not prevent you from moving the request to different states including final states. So, a requirement is essentially a guideline. We do, however, prevent you from changing requirements (e.g. marking them complete) when the request is in a final state, because a final state means that nothing else can change in the request.

Hope that helps.

Thanks.

Dave
