Step 1: Creating a New Role

On the Create Role page, input the following set of details:

Associate to Website

Select the site from the Site List dropdown menu to associate the role with that specific site within the UpStart Commerce Portal. This ensures that the role's permissions are applied only to the chosen website for targeted access control.

Role Details

In the Role Details section, input the following set of details to distinguish the new role:

  • Role Name: Enter a unique and descriptive role name in the designated field. The role name should reflect the responsibilities and access levels associated with the role, making it easy to identify and differentiate from other roles.
  • Role Description: Provide a detailed description of the role's purpose, responsibilities, and access privileges. This description helps users understand the role's scope and ensures clarity regarding its intended use. A well-defined role description facilitates effective role assignment and management.

Moreover, you can use the toggle button to Enable or Disable the role upon creation.
