Manage Vendor Roles

The Manage Vendor Roles page is only accessible to the VSS Administrator role if Unified VSS has been enabled.

This page allows you to configure existing vendor roles, and it allows you to add new roles. Each role can be assigned an Access Level Group of Primary or Optional. As soon as a new role is added this new role is available to the account administrator on the Access Level page in VSS. This can be helpful to the administrator if the VSS Systems Administrator needs to create new optional roles or even primary roles.

The addition of a new role by itself will not require any new logic; it will only require additional baseline security configuration like the Access Control setup. However, pages where specific functionality should be controlled based on the new roles, could require application changes. For example, if users should be restricted on their ability to submit invoices, the links to “Create Invoice” should be dynamically hidden based on the security of the user. Page-specific logic like this would need to be coded into the impacted pages.
