Hi Jacques:
Thanks for posting this link. I used that when trying to determine the
actual steps involved in getting the requested scenario to work. At a
high level, it is very informative. Beyond that, what is need is a step
by step guide. David, if you would be kind enough to provide details, I
would be more than happy to verify and document the process and then
post it to the Wiki.
Regards,
Ruth

I think Deedra is talking about product administration and not about
access to products in the ecommerce store.
There is actually some functionality to give more limited permissions
to certain users. Instead of giving a user the full create,
update and delete permissions for the catalog manager give them the
"role limited" permissions. Then (as a different user that has
permission to do so) associate them with a catalog in a certain role
(which I've forgotten off the top of my head, sorry) and then
they will be able to update products only in that category, and
categories under that category (note that any category can be
"under" more than one category at a time, so typically these
categories will be under one or more categories for permission
purposes, and one or more categories for customer browsing purposes,
and possibly other categories for other purposes).
If you want more something different than this then some code
changing will be necessary because of how permissions are currently
implemented in OFBiz.

Hi DeedraF:
I think this has been answer before on this list not too long ago.
Out-of-the-box, you can't do this with any existing OFBiz
applications. Basically, the best you can do is limit access to certain
users (belonging to security groups) by store.
To regulate access to specific products in a catalog on the same
website (or "store"), you will need to write some code.

I am very new to OFBiz. My dev team is working through the
technical details
and I am trying to handle the more 'front end' setup activities. Not
finding very many 'exact steps' or documentation to use as a guide, I
thought perhaps someone reading this post could help out??
I have created a store, catalog, products...and would like to now
assign
specific permissions accordingly. I do not want all my ADMINs to
have the
same full access to a catalog. As a matter of fact, I would like
to create
a 'Product Admin' allowing that person/group to simply Add, Edit,
and Delete
products in a specific store catalog. Is this a standard feature
in OFBiz
that I am just not grasping how to accomplish? If it is, please
provide
steps that might help me accomplish this task.
Thanks in advance for your help with this issue.
