Default and custom roles

Journey Optimizer B2B Edition includes a set of default roles that are used in roles templates for buying groups. But many organizations require custom roles that they can define according to their business goals and strategies. You can use the Roles list to create your own role definitions that support your buying groups.

Access roles

  1. On the left navigation, click Buying groups.

  2. In the Buying groups page, select the Roles tab.
