Department roles allow endorsements to be segregated into different groups for each department in the Air Maestro system. Defining endorsements by department roles allows the scheduling module to filter personnel based on certain resource requirements in addition to tracking which pilots are endorsed to perform what role.

For example, Jenny Smith has been given the A109 and B29 endorsement for the Senior Pilot department role and the  CL30 endorsement for the Regular Pilot department role (see below).

This ensures that Jenny Smith only appears as a resource in the scheduler for tasks that require pilots who are endorsed on the Senior Pilot role for the A109 and A109 aircraft type.
