Understanding Pagelets By Role
Oracle provides these supplier-oriented role groupings as examples of how to organize pagelet access by function.
In this section, supplier-facing pagelets are organized by these sample roles:
Supplier - Application Administrator.
Supplier - Customer Service Rep (supplier-customer representative).
Supplier - Production Manager.
Supplier - Warehouse Personnel.
Based on your corporate needs and willingness to share information externally, carefully consider which data (applications) as well as pagelets you want to make available to your suppliers.
Note: The Supplier-External User role is associated with PeopleTools-related permissions that grant access to features such as personalization and navigation. This role (or one with similar permissions) must be present for any external-facing supplier user.
The Supplier - Supplier Administrator is an external facing role that has access to the core set of PeopleSoft eSupplier Connection functions, as well as functions related to PeopleSoft Collaborative Supply Management and PeopleSoft Engineering. In addition, it enables the capability to create external users.
