What are the different access rights that can be assigned to an Esko ID user using the Manage Roles option on the Manage Esko ID portal and what features does it unlock for the user?

Answer

There are currently six types of access rights that can be assigned to an Esko ID using the Manage Roles option. The available roles are as follows:

The user role...	Enables the Esko ID user to...
Organization Owner	Perform all administrative tasks available on the Esko ID portal. This user is the administrative owner of all the organization's Esko IDs and will delegate to others in his organization. This user can also assign Roles to other users.
Organization Co-Owner	Perform all the actions the Organization Owner can, except for assigning additional Organization Co-Owners.
Purchaser	Use the Esko Store to purchase software and hardware, to view invoices, and to cancel subscriptions. By default, all Esko ID users can purchase from the Store regardless of their roles. However, the Organization Owner can enable a policy on the Settings page to restrict purchasing to certain Esko ID users with the Purchaser role.
Software Admin	Use My Software to view and download available software releases. By default, all Esko ID users can download software from My Software regardless of their roles. However, the Organization Owner can enable a policy on the Settings page to restrict downloading to some Esko ID users with the Software Admin role.
