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
