Hi Patrick:
If you do that, you may also want to consider adding the following
functionality:
* Allow your users to create catalogs - or are you going to have
another user who does that? How will your users they know which
catalog their products go into? What if they want more than just a
single catalog or category per catalog?
* Manage product features. Are features global to all your users or
specific to some users and not others?
* Place catalogs on stores so that they may be viewed. Are your
catalogs only for the target user or will they eventually end up
on an eCommerce site?
* Add/remove global price rules/promos for stores (or is that not
something you want your users to do?)
* Manage subscriptions since these are associated with products and
not necessarily stores.
* Allow your users to take advantage of the built-in thesaurus and
category search setup features.
Just a few things to consider. I'm sure there are more...but these are
just off the top of my head.
Regards,
Ruth

Here's my goal.
I want multiple users to be able to upload [their own] products into a
catalog and associate their products with a category and not have
access to the other admin stuff.
Here's the plan.
I will make the target user. Then I will modify the myPortal page [of
that user] to include the "Create Product" and "Edit Product
Categories" functionality from the "Catalog Page". This will allow a
multiple user to upload products into a Catalog without giving them
access to the entire back-end..
Since I think this will take me a while, I appreciate any tips or
direction. Thanks. Patrick
