For example, group all of the permissions related to catalog management into a role called Catalog Manager. Next, assign this role to the user whose job it is to manage the catalog. Watch this video to see how to create a role in B2C Commerce. If you can’t watch the video in full screen, open this link in a new tab: [Create a Role in B2C Commerce](https://salesforce.vidyard.com/watch/ZUSt3ukp6bPUdbaN7JuEoM). The SiteGenesis application contains several roles predefined for your convenience, such as the Administrator role. You can import and export these roles. Use the roles without modification or customize them to suit your application needs. If necessary, remove the roles and create your own set of roles. Make sure you grant at least one user with access to the Roles and Permissions module. To manage roles and permissions, you must have permissions to the Roles & Permissions module. To add a user and to manage user login and credential information, you must have permissions to the Users module. To assign or unassign roles to users, you must have permissions to both the Users module and the Roles & Permissions module. If you don't have a user with access to the Roles and Permissions module, contact B2C Commerce Support to reinstate access to this module. ![Note](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-cc-b2c_merchandiser_administrator-264-0-0-production-enus/ea76f372-6cfa-42a6-8e7c-05c6df7abed8/images/icon_note.png) Note A list of assigned roles also appears on the Roles page of a user definition. 1.

A role's ID is limited to: - letters (including non-Latin) - numbers - whitespace - special characters: `_ !

Only price adjustment limits that are assigned to an access role with a specific type of price adjustment permission are considered when a manual price adjustment is validated. The type of price adjustment permission, item, order, or shipping, depends on the type of the manual price adjustment. To prevent all users with access to a role from creating unlimited manual item price adjustments, define price adjustment limits to access roles with an item, order, or shipping price adjustment permission. 6. To change the context, click **Select Context**. When you change context from one to multiple sites, for example, you can see unassigned limits. 7. To assign a limit, check the box next to the limit and click **Update**. 8. To unassign a limit, clear the box next to the limit and click **Update**. 9. To revert changes, click **Revert** before you click **Update**. When you click **Update**, your changes can't be reverted.
