Organization and buyer administration flows (B2B)
In the B2B business model, each company that purchases from your store must have one or more registered users who are assigned the Buyer Administrator role. Buyer Administrators administer the company's organizations, and they manage the company's buyers, including assigning roles and approving new buyers who register. The Aurora starter store provides a series of self-serve pages for Buyer Administrators to do their work directly in the storefront, rather than using the Organization Administration Console.
The equivalent Buyer Administrator capabilities in the Organization Administration Console are still available, but the capabilities are duplicated in the storefront to create a simpler and more convenient customer experience.
By using the store pages in the Organizations section, Buyer Administrators can complete the following tasks, which they previously performed in the Organization Administration Console:

Buyer management |

In addition to the tasks listed in the previous table, Buyer Administrators can also approve orders in the Aurora storefront, if the organization enables order approvals. Buyer Approvers can also approve orders. For more information, see Order approval flows.
The following site flow topics provide details about each of the pages in the Organizations section of the My Account sidebar:
