    • Set up a user as a Unified Consumer by creating a single, unified profile that supports both the internal and external personas in the Customer Service Management (CSM) application.

    Overview of Unified Consumer

    You can model a single user both as an employee (snc_internal) and a business-to-consumer (B2C customer) by creating a unified profile. By unifying multiple profiles for a single user in the Customer Service Management (CSM) application, you don't need to create and manage multiple user accounts for that user.
    注:
    You can also configure an external Unified Consumer, who lacks an internal (snc_internal) role and isn’t an employee, by using similar setup tasks.

    The following table describes how to set up the tasks for activating a Unified Consumer.

    表 : 1. Set up the tasks for activating a Unified Consumer
    Task Description
    Activate a Unified Consumer Activate a Unified Consumer by updating the ConsumerImpl script include to display other sys_user records in the reference list for the csm_consumer table. For more information, see Activate a Unified Consumer.
    Create a consumer record Create a consumer record with the user, designating that user as a consumer. For more information, see Create a consumer record.
    Assign a role to a user Assign the Unified Consumer (sn_customerservice.unified_consumer) role to the user. For more information, see Assign a role to a user.
    Associate an existing user with a consumer record Associate a Unified Consumer user with a consumer record by creating a consumer user and then linking the user with a consumer record. For more information, see Associate an existing user to a consumer record.
    注:
    Both a consumer record and the Unified Consumer role are required for consumer functionality. Create the consumer record before assigning the role. If the role is assigned without a linked consumer record, the user cannot perform consumer activities and may experience unexpected behavior. If the consumer record exists but the role is missing, the user cannot access consumer features such as cases, sold products, or install base items.
