Amazon Business roles
What is a role?
A role is the mechanism used by Amazon Business APIs to determine whether a developer or application has access to an operation or resource. As a developer, you must request and qualify for a role. Without a role, you are restricted to access the operations and resources grouped under that role. Roles protect access to personally identifiable information (PII) and other sensitive data. Roles ensure developers have access only to required data.

Restricted means the role requires sensitive information which may include PII. You'll be required to provide additional information about your use of the data and your security controls. We need developers to conform to additional security checks at the time of onboarding.
