Site Administrator: Site Administrators have access to all Premier shopping and buying functionality, all site customization tools and all user management tools. They have the sole authority to create, modify and assign users to Access Groups and also have comprehensive shopping and buying privileges across all Access Groups within their Premier page.
User Administrators: User Administrators can assign user roles to others within their own Access Group. A User Administrator cannot create or modify Access Groups but can invite new users into their Access Group. In effect, a User Administrator does not customize site content for users, but can specify the level of buying authorization for users within their Access Group. User Administrators also have comprehensive shopping and buying privileges, have access to sales quotes published for any users and can retrieve the eQuotes of any user in their Access Group.
Site eQuote Buyer: Site eQuote Buyers have comprehensive buying privileges but no site customization privileges that can affect other users. They can access eQuotes or sales quotes for any member of any Access Group, and place orders.
Site eQuote Shopper: Site eQuote Shoppers can view any content that is specified for their Access Group. They can access sales quotes or eQuotes saved by any member of any Access Group, but have no buying privileges.
eQuote Buyer: eQuote Buyers have comprehensive buying privileges but no site customization privileges that can affect other users. They can only save and retrieve eQuotes saved by members of their own Access Group, and place orders.
Buyer: Buyers can save and retrieve their own eQuotes, view quotes shared to them by a Dell Sales Representative and can place orders online.
Shopper: Shoppers can view any content that is specified for their Access Group, can view their own saved e-quote and quotes shared to them by a Dell Sales Representative but have no buying privileges.
Shopper No Price: Shoppers can view any content that is specified for their Access Group and can save eQuotes, but have no buying privileges. Users with this role will not be able to view pricing.
Note: For SSO-enabled Premier customers in the US, IT Administrators can grant an ITOps role to users that allows them to explore, deploy, and manage any APEX Navigator offerings in My Account.
