It seems to me that you will have to develop the permissions feature. As it
stands, there is one admin who can change anything. You need to extend the
permissions concept to allow specific vendors access to 'their' area. This
implies some form of item tagging, so that a particular login gets access
to particular departments/items/sku's, and only those that belong to them.
A lookup table perhaps, mapping userID to itemID. If the vendors are
seperated via departments, you could map userID to departmentID. The sql
would have to be modified to limit what can be edited by including the
lookup table. You would also have to ensure that items can only belong to
one department. This can be set in global_settings.
