SXA Storefront security roles

Version:

Security roles give Sitecore users different access rights to different areas of a site. When you create a new site with Commerce features using the Create a new Experience Accelerator site wizard, Sitecore creates a domain and two security roles, and assigns them to the site.

The domain is created with the same name as the new storefront.

Sitecore creates the following roles:

  • Extranet User

  • Extranet Customer

These roles do not have any rights or restrictions by default. You can configure the roles to restrict access to sections of the storefront that require authentication.

Note

Each role belongs to only one domain. You can have two roles that belong to different domains and have the same name. For example, Site1/Extranet User is a different role from Site 2/Extranet User.
