Step 4: Assigning user roles

Users must be assigned to one of the following WebSphere Commerce Payments roles, which have relative mappings to the corresponding WebSphere Commerce roles:

Role mapping

Payments role	WebSphere Commerce role
Payments Administrator	Site Administrator
Merchant Administrator	Site Administrator
Supervisor	Operations or Sales Manager
Clerk	Customer Service Supervisor

After creating the following users:

• A user, Pat

• A merchant, Test Store

you are ready to assign Pat's role in the WebSphere Commerce Payments configuration.

If you have not already assigned Pat the role of Merchant Administrator in the previous tutorial step, follow these steps to assign Pat that role.

Exception:

You can also assign the role of No WebSphere Commerce Payments access to deny users access to WebSphere Commerce Payments. This may be useful if you have a temporary need to deny a user access, for example, an employee on leave of absence.

To assign Pat the role of Merchant Administrator for the Test Store, follow these steps in the Payments UI:

1. From the navigation frame click Users.

2. On the Users Search page, type the user name Pat and click Search.

3. From the Users page, click the user name Pat.

4. From the Merchant scroll box, select Test Store.

5. Select the radio button for Merchant Administrator.

6. Click Update to save the user configuration.

At this point, log off the WebSphere Commerce Payments user interface and log on again, this time as the Merchant Administrator, Pat.

Important: In hosted environments where a Commerce Service Provider (CSP) establishes a WebSphere Commerce Payments that remotely services multiple merchants, the CSP is the Payments Administrator and acts per each merchant's contract with the provider. In this scenario the merchant configures their own merchant settings with Merchant Administrator authority granted by the CSP (Payments Administrator).

Log on as the Merchant Administrator

To log off and log on again:

1. From the navigation frame, click Logoff admin to return to the main WebSphere Commerce Payments Logon page.

2. Type the User ID Pat.

3. Type the Password defined for Pat.

4. Click OK.

For the remainder of this tutorial, the role will be the user Pat, with Merchant Administrator authority for the Test Store. Your view of the WebSphere Commerce Payments user interface is limited to merchant administration functions; where, as the Payments Administrator, you had a global view of both Merchant and Payments Administrator functions.
