PPWR · EU Companies
User Roles
Overview
User roles in kolum define what each person in your organisation can see and do. For PPWR, roles decide who can run applicability checks, maintain packaging data, upload supplier information, and sign off Declarations of Conformity. Assigning roles deliberately keeps sensitive compliance data in the right hands and makes accountability clear.
Roles are set per user and apply across the modules your organisation uses, so a person's role in CBAM or EUDR is the same role they hold in PPWR.
🟢 Why this matters. PPWR asks a legal entity to declare conformity and keep technical documentation for ten years. Clear roles make it obvious who prepares that evidence and who is entitled to approve it. See Regulation (EU) 2025/40.
