creates or modifies customer segments for targeted selling, and creates
and manages campaigns and promotions. The Marketing Manager handles
email activity capability and web activities, which includes suggestive

The Marketing Director is also responsible for maintaining the security of customer segment information.

Assign the Marketing Director role to users that have a valid business reason to access customer information. |
