Roles

Roles are an important part of system security because they control levels of access. Role Types describes the kind of role you are currently using, such as an Enterprise Admin or Carrier Transportation Manager. Your Role Type controls the tasks you can do, such as creating an order.

A Role is a particular instance of a Role Type. It associates permissions to business transactions and other business objects. Although you are limited to using a single role at a time, you may switch to a different role at any time.
