Managing actors and user accounts
The Actors module ensures that all actors and users using EUDAMED have been authenticated.
There are two levels of registration to gain access to EUDAMED:
Registration of an Actor (organisation)
Registration of a user (person) belonging to an Actor (organisation)
Request registration for an Economic Operator (organisation)
Authentication for a new Actor is done by the relevant Competent Authority in that country.
Register your Actor in EUDAMED with the appropriate actor role.
The person who performs the Actor registration automatically becomes the first Local Actor Administrator (LAA) for that actor once the registration is validated.
Depending on the role, an Actor ID or Single Registration Number (SRN) is generated by EUDAMED and issued by the Competent Authority after validating the registrations request. Incorrect or incomplete requests will not be validated and no Actor ID/SRN will be generated until a complete and correct request has been provided and validated.
Request access as a user (person) of a registered Economic Operator (organisation)
Authentication for a new user of an existing Actor is done by the Actor's users with the appropriate profile (Local User Administrator or Local Actor Administrator).
If your Actor is already registered in EUDAMED, you can request access as a user of that actor. Once an LAA/LUA from your actor has approved your request, your account will be granted the appropriate user profile for that actor.
Important
It is good practice having at least two LAA for each Actor, as a fail-safe mechanism if one should be unavailable. Furthermore, an actor must have at least one active LAAat all times, making it impossible to terminate the last LAA for an actor.
