Organisation User Roles

What does the Organisation User Roles feature do?

The Organisation user Roles feature allows the administrator for an organisation to add users and assign roles to these users so they have different levels of permission to perform actions on behalf of the organisation. For example, a company administrator may assign the role of “Junior Buyer “ to someone who can browse the website, add items to the basket, and raise a Purchase Order, but would not be able to progress that purchase order without it being approved.
