Network Manger
A Network Manager in the Negotiator is a person responsible for overseeing a group of resources collectively known as a Network. The term "resource" refers to any entity an organization makes accessible, such as a collection of biological samples, a dataset, or a service like providing expertise.
Network Managers play a crucial role in:
- Moderating access requests (Negotiations) for resources within their Network.
- Evaluating basic key performance indicators (KPIs) to ensure the efficient operation of the Network.
Registering Representatives
Every resource in the Negotiator requires at least one designated Representative. Representatives are the primary contacts for new Requests, ensuring a smooth process for resource access.
