Root organizationThe root organization is at the top of the organizational hierarchy. A Site Administrator has superuser access to perform any operation within WebSphere Commerce. The Site Administrator installs, configures, and maintains WebSphere Commerce and its associated software and hardware. This role typically controls access and authorization (that is, creating and assigning members to the appropriate role) and manages the Web site. The Site Administrator can assign roles to users and specify the organizations for which the user plays the role. The Site Administrator must assign a password to each administrator to ensure that only authorized parties can access confidential information. This provides a way to control key responsibilities, such as updating a catalog or approving a request for quotation (RFQ).
In a WebSphere Commerce site, there is one seller organization. In a B2B direct site, there are also one or more buyer organizations. The Site Administrator may define the access control policies of the seller organization that owns the store and the access control policies of each organization that buys from the store. In a consumer direct site, there are no buyer organizations. Business-to-consumer customers are modeled as members of the default organization. |
