Definition & Explanation

An Export System Role enables users in IT systems to manage export operations end-to-end. It grants access to export documents, customs and compliance data, as well as functions to execute or approve export transactions. Export managers, compliance officers, and administrators typically use this role to prepare export declarations, verify quantity restrictions, and address export control issues. Depending on system architecture, the role is linked to specific permission profiles and audit trails that track every access.
