8.3.2 Assigning WebSphere Commerce Payments access roles

Four roles in the Payments framework have relative mappings to corresponding roles in WebSphere Commerce. When you create users in WebSphere Commerce, first assign the WebSphere Commerce roles to those users. The users will display in the Payments UI, where you can assign them their corresponding Payments roles. Table 8-2 maps the Payments user roles to corresponding WebSphere Commerce roles.

Payments Administrators and Merchant Administrators can manage WebSphere Commerce Payments. Supervisors and Clerks are financial roles that do not administer WebSphere Commerce Payments, but they do manage the payment processing functions. Table 8-3 lists the responsibilities for each Payments role.

Role definitions

Note: When WebSphere Commerce is installed, the WebSphere Commerce Site Administrator is assigned the role of Payments Administrator automatically.

To assign a WebSphere Commerce Administrator to a Payments role:

1. Log on to the WebSphere Commerce Administration Console using the Site Administrator ID created during instance creation.

2. From the Administration Console Site/Store selection page, select Site.

3. From the Payments menu, select Users.

4. On the User Search page, enter selection criteria and click Search.

This displays a list resembling Figure 8-5.

5. Select an appropriate user by clicking the user name.

6. From the Merchant list, select one or more stores that this user's role will cover.

7. Select a Payments role for the user by clicking the appropriate radio button.

8. Click Update.

9. Click the straight arrow on the right side of the page to return to the Users list. The selected merchants and roles are now displayed.

We assigned the role of Merchant Administrator to each of the sellers that were just created (Figure 8-6).

Important: If you assign a Payments role to a WebSphere Commerce user and later want to delete or rename the logon ID of this user, remove the user's Payments role before you delete or rename the WebSphere Commerce user's logon ID.
