How to create role based users with different permissions?

Your organization will consist of members who will coordinate and execute different PIM activities. Every member is identified by one or more roles. A role is a specialized skill or a designation for a specific job. For example, a role “Writer” is responsible for writing engaging product descriptions. Once a role is created for an organization, you can assign members to that role, set property level permissions, and set system level permissions. This would help members to focus on relevant product properties and fulfil their PIM objectives.

How to:

Navigate to the place where you were able to invite members to your organization. That is click “Set up Organization” on the “OVERVIEW” tab or click the “View Organization” link under the Profile icon. Under “Roles”, you can click “Create Role” to define a new role. Once you proceed, you can select the checkboxes to assign members to the role. Post assigning the members, you can set permissions at system level and property level. In the “Permissions” column, you can hover and then click to set one of the permissions: Manage, Read Only, and Hide. Setting the property permissions for a role would mean the following:

  • Manage – Allows the role to edit the property value.
  • Read Only – Allows the role to only view the property value.
  • Hide – The role cannot view the property value.
