Adding a CFOAPAL
- Unless you accept a user into your lab AND assign them a payment method, they will not be able to request service
- It is up to PIs and Business Managers to maintain CFOAPALs and user access to them
- RRC Staff is not able to manage CFOAPAL lists of your lab
- PIs can have multiple labs inside UIC as well as outside of UIC. In order to create them, please contact rrc-ilab@uic.edu
- Business Managers can belong to multiple labs and manage all of them.
