In EPiServer CMS, there are the following default rolesThe Commerce Manager system has its own set of user roles covering the different tasks that online store managers work with. Order Supervisor, and Order/Shipping/Receiving Manager are examples of the role setup. There are also roles for managing the website as such, for instance editor or administrator. A "visitor" to the website is also a role in this context. Roles control the level of access privileges of each user account in Commerce Manager. Users can be either granted or restricted access to an entire subsystem or a particular menu item within a subsystem based on the role assigned to them. Different roles may be added to user accounts (i.g., store operator or webmaster) so that they can access, edit, or process relevant information. By default, a customer who registered his/her account to make a purchase in the front-end site will have no roles assigned to them, hence giving him/her preventing access to both the editing feature of the front-end site as well as the back-end Commerce Manager.:
