The Travel permit module is now accessible to all branches. - Branches may request it to be turned off for their region.

All branch superusers now have access to the travel permit module by default. Two additional roles are available: Travel permit creation and Travel permit approbation. Those roles can be added to anyone who needs to add or approve a travel permit inside HCR.

Travel permit documents, fees, and permission to enable submission of permits from My Account are set up in the Settings Menu and Organization.
