German to English translations [PRO]
Bus/Financial - Business/Commerce (general) / service level agreement

German term or phrase: einnehmen

Not sure how best to translate this in this context.

Appears several times in an internal service level agreement

Die Rolle eines Endnutzers des Systems NIMMT EIN, wer Daten aus dem System erhält oder entnimmt, ohne ein Feedback auf diese Daten in das System zurückzuspielen.

Die Rolle des Systemverantwortlichen NIMMT EIN, wer zuständig ist für die fachliche oder technische Integrität des Systems Sorge zu tragen.

Die Rolle eines Datenverantwortlichen des Systems NIMMT EIN, wer das Einspielen, Ändern oder Löschen von Daten in das System manuell oder automatisch vornimmt, steuert, kontrolliert oder verantwortet.

TIA for any help

This "nimmt ein ..." seems a very strange construction to me. Can't think what else could be meant in this context

[The role] covers/encompasses [anyone who....]

Explanation:
Could the sentences as a whole be intended as definitions of the terms 'Endnutzer' etc.?

If so, then surely what 'nimmt ein, wer' means is 'The role of [the end user etc.] includes/covers/encompasses anyone/everyone who [receives data etc.]'

shall be deemed to be

Explanation:
'anyone who...is/shall be deemed/considered to be an end-user etc...' or perhaps simply '...qualifies as...'

I'm not sure that all the answers so far appreciate that 'die Rolle' is in the accusative...
