2 Roles

Roles are used to classify users based on job responsibilities and actions to be performed in the application. Using roles, a user's access can be restricted to specific areas or functions within the system. Users must be associated with at least one job role in order to access the application and may be associated with several roles if desired.

For example, within Merchandising, a Supply Chain Analyst may only have the ability to maintain item sourcing related information but not the ability to modify any other details on an item's definition. This role would be given view only access to the item workflow with the exception of item supplier screens where the role will be granted management access. Whereas a user in the Data Steward role might have ability to manage the general item definition, including item sourcing information.
