Business account contacts can be allowed to add or manage an account address or an individual shopper’s address during the checkout process if they have been configured with the appropriate role.

To allow a contact to create a shopper’s address when placing an order, assign that contact the Profile Address Manager Role. This role allows a contact to see, select and create a new profile address when they are working with profiles or placing an order. Note that this role is not required to see or select a profile when working with profiles or placing an order.)

A contact can also be allowed to create or edit an account address when working with a profile or placing an order. To do this, give the contact the Account Address Manager role. Note that this role is not required to see or select an account address when working within the profile or placing an order. It is possible for a contact to have both the Account Address Manager and Profile Address Manager roles. By default, the delegated administrator has both of these roles. Contacts do not have these roles by default.

When implementing this feature on the store front, you need to ensure that you have the latest version of the Managed Account Address widget, which allows contacts to manage addresses when placing an order, if they have been assigned the appropriate role. For information on the Managed Account Address Book widget, refer to the Appendix: Layout Widgets and Elements.

Additionally, you must create a vertical tab on an instance of the profile layout and ensure that you have the latest version of Account Address Book widget, which allows the contact to manage addresses in the Profile area, if they have been assigned the appropriate role. For information on creating a vertical tab, refer to the Add vertical tabs section. For information on the Account Address Book widget, refer to the Appendix: Layout Widgets and Elements.
