Limits of the record

How does the application work at a high level, what rights does the family member receive, how long does the status last, and how can it become independent or longer-term where officially stated?

The permit is of the permanent class, but like every class its validity cannot exceed the duration of the underlying employment contract, nor the validity of the holder's travel document or foreigner ID card. The official source does not state the application process or a path to longer-term status.
