Administrator – This would typically be a senior level buyer or upper level manager that oversees all other buyers of the organization. This role can set up accounts for new employees and assign them access to certain ship-tos. They can also approve orders of any General User at their company.

 

Superuser – This role would work well for companies that don’t necessarily have a lot of buyers, but a handful of people who are trusted to make purchases without approval each time. The superuser could also be someone that might manage another buyer or two, and would want to approve what they are purchasing.

 

General User – This would be more of a junior buyer that can create orders, but would need them to be approved by either a Superuser or Administrator. This role would also work for someone that will never need to make an online purchase, but simply do product and pricing research online.
