User Roles
You can assign roles to the users. Each module has a list of specific roles:
Generally, the role names start with a verb with the following pattern:
- Administer – highest level of permissions (such as: add, edit, delete + revoke, work with attributes etc.)
- Manage – typical level of permissions: add, edit, delete
- Edit – edit permission only
- View – view-only access
See also PFX Endpoints and Required Permissions which lists Pricefx permission-secured endpoints and roles needed to access them.
