Corporation roles

Roles are used in EVE to delegate access to various corporation functionalities. There are two main types of roles available: normal and grantable. A normal role such as Accountant gives a member the right to do various accounting related actions for the corporation. However if a member is given the grantable role Accountant then they have the ability to give and take the role accountant from other members of the corporation. Grantable roles are assigned by the CEO and should be given only to those who have proven themselves trustworthy.

These are the general roles currently available:

ACCOUNTANT

Accountants can monitor and manage the financial affairs of the corporation. They can view corporation bills in the NeoCom "Bills" panel. From there, they can pay the corporation's bills (with corporation money, of course) and see who owes the corporation money. Accountants can also purchase and sell items for the corporation. Items can be sold from the corporation hangar. Items bought are placed in the deliveries window at the station where they are purchased and only an accountant can remove these items.

AUDITOR

The Auditor role allows the holder to check the role history of members of the corporation.

CONFIG EQUIPMENT

This role allows the holder to anchor, unanchor, rename, and configure various types of objects in space.

CONFIG STARBASE

This role allows the holder to perform star base configuration.

DIRECTOR

A director is, for the most intents and purposes, the same as a CEO. They can hire and fire members and change job descriptions (assigning and un-assigning roles, grantable roles, bases and titles). Directors are the next best thing to CEOs, allowing a corporation to function with members based in different time zones around the world. It is probably wise for a large corporation to have select and trusted members with this role spanning over varied time zones, thus allowing the corporation to be in a manageable condition 24/7. This should allow corporations with international memberships to be effective in terms of management and being able to respond to situations effectively as they occur. It is very important to remember that the role director gives the holder all implied roles and grantable roles. To put this simply, if you make someone a director you have effectively given them every role and grantable role (except director), and they will have full access to all corporation resources/assets at all locations.

FACTORY MANAGER

The role Factory Manager allows the holder to install jobs into factory and research slots that have been rented by the corporation. Such jobs use blueprints and materials from the corporation hangar. They can also cancel jobs for the corporation as well. Factory Managers can also eject blueprints from corporation-owned factories and research slots. Additionally, they can see what is going on in any corporate factory and research slot.

JUNIOR ACCOUNTANT

The junior accountant is a cur down version of the accountant role. It essentially allows the holder to view the data that an accountant views. However it does not allow the holder to perform the actions that an accountant can.

PERSONNEL MANAGER

A personnel manager can process applications and sign up new members.

RENT FACTORY

This role allows the holder to rent factory slots for the corporation.

RENT OFFICE

The role Rent Office allows the holder to rent offices for the corporation.

RENT RESEARCH FACILITY

This role allows the holder to rent research facilities for the corporation.

SECURITY OFFICER

The role security officer allows the holder to view the contents of the deliveries window in station. This is the window where items bought by the corporation at a station are placed. If the corporation has a corporate hangar at a station, the role Security Officer grants view access to the contents of the members' hangars. This access also facilitates the placing of items into the members' hangars.

STATION MANAGER

As the name implies, station managers can perform station management tasks for corporation-owned facilities. These tasks are varied and include adjusting the standing-based modifiers for allowing docking and the charges for it, as well as permission to access factories, the reprocessing plant, the repair shop, and also how modifiers should be applied for costs based upon standings for these tasks. The station manager is also able to set up station defenses.
