Managing Account Users

TABLE OF CONTENTS

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.

All roles operate strictly within the storefront environment.
