Who can confirm an EU AI Act classification in Complipath?

In Complipath (complipath.io), once a workspace names an Approver, only an Approver can confirm a classification, not even the owner. Six roles set who does what: Owner, Admin, Approver, Contributor, Viewer and Legal. Viewer and Legal see everything and change nothing, and the database itself refuses their writes.

What it does today, and its limits

Legal sees everything in the workspace, and once you name an approver only an approver can confirm a classification. The rule counts the people working in the workspace at that moment: while every named approver has switched to another of their workspaces, anyone who can edit can confirm.

The six roles

Owner and Admin run the workspace and set each person's role in Settings → Team. Only the owner can hand over ownership, and the old owner then becomes an admin.
Approver confirms classifications.
Contributor does the work and sends a classification for approval.
Viewer and Legal see everything and change nothing: the database refuses their writes, not only the screen.

How approval works

Once anyone in the workspace is an Approver, only an Approver can confirm a classification. Until then, everyone who could confirm still can.
Anyone else sees Send for approval on the classification page. Sending waits ten seconds with Undo, then emails every approver.
The sender can remind the approvers once a day, or withdraw the request until it is decided.
Approvers see Waiting for your approval in Review, with who sent each request and when. Confirming closes the request.

What it does not do

It does not decide the classification: the rule engine does, and the approver confirms it. Rules decide. AI only drafts. A person confirms.
Roles are set per workspace, not per system.

Questions

Can the workspace owner still confirm a classification?

Not once the workspace has an Approver. From then on only an Approver can confirm a classification, and that includes the owner, who can make herself an Approver in Settings → Team if she should be the one to confirm. Until anyone is an Approver, everyone who could confirm before still can.

What can the Legal role do?

Read everything in the workspace and change nothing. Legal and Viewer are read-only in the database itself, so a write from either role is refused even if a screen offers it. The Legal role is for counsel who should see the register, the classifications and the documentation without being able to alter them.

What happens when a classification is sent for approval?

The request waits ten seconds, so it can be undone, and then every approver in the workspace gets an email. Approvers see it in Review under Waiting for your approval, with who sent it and when. The sender can remind them once a day or withdraw it until it is decided.

Which plan includes it?

Starter, at €499 a month, and the trial. Prices exclude VAT. In the app, roles and approvals is a Growth feature, included in Starter until Growth launches: Growth is not available yet, so Starter is the plan to buy, and Free does not include it.
