Layers

Layers can be selected from within each widget to configure their visibility or content for a particular audience based upon who they are.

You can build multiple Layers, each including multiple conditions such as:

• Authentication status (logged in vs. public),
• Roles
• Customer codes, and many other options

What is a Layer? 

Roles

End Users can be grouped into roles allowing you to easily manage and personalise what content THEY ACCESS, FUNCTIONALITY, AND WHAT THEY CAN SEE on your site.

Typically, a site will have several roles set up for certain functions within the site, e.g.

• Administrator Role,
• B2B Role,
• B2C Role,
• Public Role, 
• Accounts Role, and so forth.

When a user first hits the site, they will use the default role; once they have logged in (or registered), they will then be using the corresponding role.

To personalise your site according to the behaviour of a visitor, see ‘Personalisation Rules’. 

This page is intended for use by CSS Administrators on classic (non-BPD) sites. It provides an overview of the Role function, as well as a guide to maintaining them in CSS.

Personalisation:       Display a promotion offering (y) Product at discounted price  And/or  Display message offering free shipping.
