Customer Roles Explained

 

Overview

Customer Roles in Infigo can be used as a means of categorising customers.

Every single person accessing the site is assigned a Customer Role of some sort. Some are assigned automatically, for example, someone hitting the site for the first time or without logging in will be assigned the Guest Customer Role and once Registered on the site will be assigned the Registered Customer Role and then some Customer Roles can be manually assigned to users for example those wanting access to the admin area of Infigo can be assigned the Storefront Administrator role.

Customer Roles can then be assigned access to various parts of the system. 

For example, you can create a Job Controller role and provide them access to admin but ONLY the Shared Print Operations page so they can manage the jobs and download the artwork.

If you want to create your own customer roles then you can do so here

 

PLEASE NOTE: If you're searching for a user and they're not listed, they may not be assigned the Registered Role. Untick that from the Customer Roles list, and search again. 

All users must have Registered to access the platform.

Storefront AdministratorEvery storefront can have many Admins that only can administrate that specific storefront.The storefront admin can perform many different tasks on the admin side of the storefront including renaming the storefront.
StudentsThis role works along with the editor role for the Yearbook module and essentially has the same access as a registered customer. (Please note this is a Legacy Role and may no longer be used)  
    

 

Please Note

There are a number of Legacy Roles which are no longer in use.

However, these roles are still present so they can be repurposed on storefronts for whatever you wish.
