12. Locked Out – A user can be locked out of FCS under certain circumstances:
a) Failure to return required documents may result in a user being locked out of FCS.
b) The Catch Certification Program may administer follow-up procedures in cases where the audit of a previously issued catch certificate demonstrates that a user was not in compliance with the Terms and Conditions for use of FCS. This may result in a user being locked out of the system.
13. Applicant Roles – The following table describes the system functionality available to each role.
Note: Only the Catch Certification Program: Operations Centre can create a user account for the Applicant Manager. This is the individual identified during the registration process as being responsible for the company’s account.
