Question on VIEW permissions on product/catalog

[Jacopo Cappellato]

Hi all,

I need to grant a user (from a custom application) the ability to lookup 
products, i.e. to use the LookupProduct screen, but the screen requires 
the CATALOG_VIEW permission; and with this permission the user has also 
access to the Catalog application, including all the stores settings and 
products/prices etc...
What is the best way of resolving this? Should we create a new 
permission (PRODUCT_VIEW or PRODUCT_LOOKUP_VIEW) for the lookup screen?

Thanks,

Jacopo
