2.7.2 Roles

As mentioned above, WebSphere Commerce provides default sets of roles. The Site Administrator must assign specific roles to every organization before assigning users to those roles. An organization can only take on roles that have been assigned to its parent organization. Similarly, a user can only take on roles that have been assigned to their parent organization.

All roles in WebSphere Commerce are tied to an organization. For example, a user plays the Product Manager role for Organization X. The parent organization of this user must also be assigned the Product Manger role for itself. The access control policies could then be set up such that this user can perform only product management operations within the context of Organization X and its suborganizations.

The default roles that come with WebSphere Commerce can be grouped into the following categories:

Site operations

Site and content development

Logistics and operations

Product management

Sales management

Marketing management

Organizational management
