Note:

The Regular Price User, Promotion User, and Markdown User roles are access roles, not workflow roles. They control which optimization type a user can access rather than what actions they can perform within it. For this reason, they are not shown as separate columns in Table 4-2.

To work with a specific optimization type, a user must be assigned both the applicable access role and a workflow role (Pricing Analyst, Pricing Manager, or Buyer). Users whose responsibilities span both Promotion and Markdown must be assigned both roles.

Users who are not assigned an applicable access role cannot access the related LPO screens or Rules Management tasks in Control and Tactical Center.
