Catalog and Inventory System Roles

For the latest version of Commerce Server 2007 Help, see the Microsoft Web site.

This section provides information about how to configure roles for the Catalog System. Commerce Server 2007 groups the various catalog roles according to their respective permissions. All the roles in a sub-group have more restrictive permissions than the roles in the parent group. The following table describes the catalog roles.
