Account User Roles
Znode supports B2B Accounts with three primary roles: Administrator, Manager, and User. Each role has defined permissions to ensure controlled access and efficient account management.
1. Administrator
An Administrator has unrestricted system access and full control over account operations.
Key Capabilities:
- View and manage all users within the account
- Access and review all user orders
- Manage account-level configurations
- If the account is a parent account, the administrator can:
- View users across all associated child accounts
- Access and monitor orders from child accounts
- Perform user management across the entire hierarchy
In short, Administrators have complete visibility and control across both parent and child account structures.
2. Manager
A Manager is essentially a standard storefront user with limited elevated privileges.
Key Capabilities:
- All permissions of a normal user
- Ability to modify the shipping address during checkout
- Can place orders for their associated account
- Limited to operational flexibility without administrative control
Managers provide controlled flexibility, especially for shipping adjustments without compromising account security.
3. User
A User is a standard storefront user with basic capabilities.
Key Capabilities:
- Place orders using the default account address only
- Cannot modify the shipping address at checkout
- No access to user management or administrative settings
Users are restricted to predefined account settings, ensuring consistency and minimal risk of errors.
| Role | User Management | View Orders | Child Account Access | Modify Shipping Address | Order Placement |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Administrator | Full Access | All Orders | Yes (Parent + Child Accounts) | Yes | Yes |
| Manager | No | Own Account Orders | No | Yes | Yes |
| User | No | Own Orders Only | No | No | Yes (Default Address Only) |
Important Note: None of the users (Administrator, Manager, or User) have access to the Admin Application.
All roles operate strictly within the storefront environment.
