Amazon Business API roles

What is a role?

A role is a mechanism used by Amazon Business APIs to determine whether an application has access to an operation or resource. As a developer, you must request and qualify for a role. Roles protect access to personally identifiable information (PII) and other sensitive data. Roles ensure developers have access only to required data.
