Business Manager Functional Permissions

Functional permissions are not associated with a Salesforce B2C Commerce tool module. They let a user perform specific functions on Commerce Cloud B2C Commerce.

For example: to make Alice an agent who can log in on behalf of any customer of site ABC, Alice needs the functional permission Login_On_Behalf for site ABC.

To edit data, these permissions must be combined with Business Manage module permissions.

Organization-Wide Functional Permissions

The following table lists the functional permissions that apply to your organization as a whole:

Permission Description

  • view, create, edit, organization catalogs
  • assign catalogs to sites
