Create one or multiple roles
If all users in the group can have the same document permissions it is advisable to select the option to create a Group with one role.
A Group with multiple roles can be used if you need to create roles with deviating permissions in one buyer group. The advantage of multiple roles is that users can see the Q&A activities of users of a different role. As long as these users have permissions on the question reference. In the example below there is a split in a clean team and non clean team.
