# Create Party Role Relationships in Automotive Cloud

Define the role of members in a household, a group, or between two participants who are related to each other by using Party Role Relationship records.. An automotive manufacturer or dealer must track different types of relationships that are important to their customers. Some relationships are reciprocal, such as parent-child relationships in a household, or the service provider and service benefactor relationship between a repair shop and the vehicle owner. Other relationships can be linear, such as the relationship between two person accounts who are members of the same co-operative living society and are neighbors.
