WebSphere Commerce Enterprise

Add Buyer page (B2B)

Buyer Administrators for a B2B organization can use the Add Buyer page to create buyer accounts under an organization. Buyer accounts that are created by the Buyer Administrator are automatically activated and can shop the store immediately; even if the organization is configured to require buyer approvals.

Optionally, Buyer Administrators can assign additional roles to buyers. The roles that can be assigned to buyers are managed on the Organization Details page (B2B) of the organization. For more information about roles, see Organizational management roles.
