chris snow commented on OFBIZ-3949:
-----------------------------------
The documentation I'm doing on RoleType is proving to be very insightful.
The more I document, the more I realise that it is impossible to setup Roles without documention. For example the following roles are defined in UserDemoData.xml in 10.04:
{code:xml}
<PartyRole partyId="admin" roleTypeId="BUYER"/>
<PartyRole partyId="admin" roleTypeId="MANAGER"/>
<PartyRole partyId="admin" roleTypeId="ORDER_CLERK"/>
<PartyRole partyId="admin" roleTypeId="SHIPMENT_CLERK"/>
{code}
So far, I have ascertained that:
BUYER - has no influence in ofbiz, except for labelling parties. E.g. admin is a BUYER
MANAGER - will give the admin user extended POS and WebPOS permissions
ORDER_CLERK - has no influence in ofbiz, except for labelling parties. E.g. admin is an ORDER_CLERK
SHIPMENT_CLERK - will cause the Order Delivery Schedule Notification service to send emails to addresses of all parties having the SHIPMENT_CLERK role
Interesting facts!
Feedback welcome - good and bad...
Many thanks,
Chris

-----------------------------------
Thanks for the feedback BJ.
I will add a section at the start of the document to show the hierarchy - maybe a tree if it isn't too big. I'll also get the related revision number in.
Cheers,
Chris

BJ Freeman commented on OFBIZ-3949:
-----------------------------------
will accelerate the web tools code so you can look it up in the web tools.
thinking of a drop down that list all the roles types then it will search the services, mini lang, widget, and FTL for them.
as a patch it should be able to be used on 4.0,9.04 10.4, and trunk.

-----------------------------------
since roles are hierarchical, it would be best to add the parent Type.
also a note says what version, rev number the type became available or was removed.
what services, widgets, FTL use this role
