Suppliers are the companies or people who provide your organization with a product or a service. You use suppliers with purchasing, inventory, order items and accounts payable.
There are supplier account and supplier contact records. Supplier accounts are the companies who provide your organization with a product or a service, and supplier contacts are the people who work for the supplier accounts.

Additional supplier information:

Supplier Account Security
Adding supplier accounts is controlled by the Allow Adding of Supplier Accounts access privilege. Any roles/users assigned to the privilege can add supplier accounts or update the Payables designation for accounts from other designations. Any roles/users not assigned to the privilege cannot add supplier accounts or update the Payables designation for accounts. If no roles/users are assigned to the privilege, it is considered inactive and all roles/users can add supplier accounts and update the Payables designation for accounts.

Hi Kris,
There is an access privilege for adding supplier accounts that also covers editing the Accounts Payable designation but it doesn't cover editing any of the account information.
Not sure if it would work for you, but you could use the Edit/Add/Delete Accounts by Account Rep and assign supplier accounts a specific account rep so you could limit access that way.
Thanks,
Maggie

Can you get visibility of all purchase order/purchase order items via the Accounts - Supplier window? From the Accounts - Supplier window you can choose View - Requisition Items/Purchase Order Items but that displays regardless of Suppliers. Can this be refined?

I would log this as a bug. I believe the active supplier should be passed to the PO Items grid as a filter when accessing via the Supplier.
