- Available customer groups
- Lists the available customer groups for the contract.
Note: Contracts cannot be entitled to a customer segment or an implicit group based on dynamic conditions. With a B2B contract, you know precisely which members of an organization or members of a group are entitled to the contract. Therefore, contracts can be entitled to an explicit member group; that is, a member group where individual members are directly assigned to the group.
To create an explicit member group, run the following SQL commands:
insert into member values (-10000, 'G', null)
insert into mbrgrp (mbrgrp_id, owner_id, mbrgrpname) values (-10000, -2001, 'MyCustomerMemberGroup')
insert into mbrgrpusg values (-1, -10000, null)
where MyCustomerMemberGroup is the name of the member group you want to create
For this member group to display in the Available customer groups list on the Contract Customers page within the Contracts notebook in the WebSphere Commerce Accelerator, after you have created the explicit member group, use the Organization Administration Console to assign users to that member group, as follows:
- Open the Organization Administration Console using a Seller Administrator ID.
- From the Access Management menu, click Users. A list of users for the site displays.
- Select the check box next to the user that you want to work with and click Member Groups. The Include dialog opens.
- From the Available member groups list, select the group that you created above and click Add. The group moves from the Available member groups list to the Selected member groups list.
- Click OK to assign the member group for the user.
