There are other less commonly used roles like Broker, Guarantor, Applicant, Assistant, Secondary Buyer, Secondary Landlord, Client, and Prospect. You will see these additional choices when you select a form that uses them.
Roles are defined in the People Tab of any document in the transaction. The form selected will determine where the role will sign (if applicable) and whether they will be able to edit any document. Use the ‘People’ view to see/enter and define the participants and their roles, including your own.
Using this is a great validation method to ensure the right people are assigned to the right roles in the system.
