The Buyer authority enables an employee to purchase assigned uniform products for either themselves or others. If an employee does not have Buyer authority enabled, they will not be able to purchase assigned uniform, however this can be done on their behalf by another employee who has Buyer authority.
Please note, this authority works in conjunction with the View Only authority. If you have Buyer: Whole Company authority enabled, but have View Only: Employee Only, you will only see your own profile under Employees, and thus be able to purchase uniform products for yourself only.
If you apply ‘Employee Only’ the employee will:
- Be able to purchase any assigned uniform products for themselves
If you apply ‘Employee and Managed Employees Only’ the employee will:
- Be able to purchase products for themselves and their direct reports
If you apply ‘Branches in Employee Company’ the employee will:
- Be able to purchase products for employees within a specific branch
If you apply ‘Cost Centres in Employee Company’ the employee will:
- Be able to purchase products for those within a specific cost centre
If you apply ‘Whole Company’ the employee will:
- Be able to purchase products for everyone in the company
