What's changing?

• Customer Administrators can view and manage users with Commercial Cards roles
• Additional Commercial Cards administration access is no longer required for user management
• Customer-managed Commercial Cards roles can be added, modified, or removed through the Administration menu

No action is required. The enhancement will be applied automatically.
