Who can do what in Retail & E-Commerce CPQ

Separate quote preparation, pricing decisions and administration within the selling organization.

How permissions work

Quote ownership

Quote Specialist prepares assigned drafts and their lines, channel offers and attachments. Protected state changes pass through the guarded actions with the expected revision.

Independent review

Pricing Reviewer reads the authorized evidence and decides eligible revisions through the review action. Reading a queue or maintaining a membership does not supply independent approval authority.

Organization scope

Customers and team membership belong to a selling organization. Access follows that scope, including the quote's child records and attached evidence.

Read-only investigation

Auditor reads commercial evidence and operation outcomes. Investigation does not grant permission to change the quote, rewrite the receipt or authorize compensation.

Administration

App Administrator maintains customers, organizations and team membership. Admin handles platform account access. Pricing decisions remain with Pricing Reviewer.
