{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Manufacturing" %}
* Administrator
* Production Managers
* Production Staff
* Quality Assurance
* Chief of Quality
{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Retail" %}
* Administrators
* Managers
* QA Manager
* Retail Associate
{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Labs" %}
* Administrators
* Quality Assurance
* Lab Technician
* Chief of Quality
* Chief Science Officer
{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}
