Configuring user roles

The merchant must establish at least one user role, though typically there are several more. A default Infor e-Commerce installation includes several pre-configured roles, which the merchant is free to use, change or delete (See Standard Infor e-Commerce settings).

For each user role, the merchant must assign a name and the set of feature elements to which that role has access. Then the merchant must assign user roles to each registered user.

To set up user roles:

  1. Log on to the Business Center as a merchant administrator.
  2. Click the Application Setup:Roles link in the navigator.
  3. Click Create New.
  4. On the Role Details page, select a role type, and enter a name and description for the role in each of the languages supported by your application.

    If you select "Customer User" as role, the Show in Customer Site field appears. Set this to Yes if you want the customer roles to appear in the user's profile in the Customer Center.

    Click Create.

    The page reloads with a larger form that shows your settings so far, but which also includes additional fields for selecting feature elements.

  5. Assign feature elements for the role.

    All the feature elements defined for the application is listed under Feature Elements. To enable or disable feature elements, select or clear the appropriate check boxes.

  6. Click Save.
