I will wait to see if the 1st to ask this question will get back to us with
some results, or questions...

Hi Jacques:
Sure. Can you or some one explain to me how to do this?
As I said before, I wasn't able to make it work given the tools
available at the time.
Regards,
Ruth

Ruth,
This would be great, I think David is not the only person able to
explain that more... We don't need to rely on David for every
detail... Let him breathe please :D

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

some pointers) on how roles and permissions are used together
in
OFBiz to achieve what David is talking about

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.
