The roles a person can hold in a seller's business. Send them in `seller_additional_details[].type` on [Create a seller](/payments/merchants-management/post-create-seller), as an array of codes. A person can hold several roles, for example `[1, 2]` for an owner who is also a signatory.

`type` is required for every additional individual: without it, the call fails with error `160`. An unknown code fails with error `24`.

If you don't send additional individuals, the seller's own person is set to Owner and Signatory for a private individual or a sole proprietorship, and to Back Office otherwise.
