Answer

SUPPLIERASSURANCE uses permissions to control what different users in your organization can see and do on the platform. Permissions ensure that users only access information relevant to their responsibilities. Your organization's 'User Manager' assigns these permissions.

Background

Assigning permissions helps manage data security and ensures users only access information relevant to their responsibilities. Your organization's 'User Manager(s)' assigns these roles. Customer specific roles include:

For Supplier Accounts
Responder - Needed to start and/or respond to questionnaires.
Submitter - Needed to submit questionnaires for validation.
Viewer - Needed to view data provided by other users in questionnaires.
Assessor - Needed to continue questionnaires started by other users, assign questionnaires, and lock/unlock answers within an HQ template.
Buyer Manager - Needed to manage relationships with customers/buyers.
User Manager - Needed to manage users in your organization, including adding/deactivating users and updating their permissions.

For Buyer Accounts
Category Supplier Manager - View supplier data and manage supplier relationships for selected categories.
Campaign Manager - Create and manage campaigns and invitations to suppliers.
