Instead of define securityGroup permission and increase the screen's complexity, a solution will be define new portalPages by level :
 * PartyProfile_Beg
 * PartyProfile_Inter
 * PartyProfile_Full
And associate dedicate screen for all. At nereide we start a conversion of ofbiz screen to full portlet management (party, order and marketing) maybe a good reason to go back to see the project ?

I agree, this function is not so suitable for the order and facility
components.

I was however thinking of the product and party component. These are far
to big for the starting user and here it could be a big advantage to
show only a limited functionality....

This is starting to sound to me like user permissions that can be customised to 
show or hide functions? Then it can be customised if a organisation wants to or 
left default.
Rather than beginner, intermediate and full it would be role based e.g. 
Warehouse Picker, Warehouse Packer, PO Creator, PO Approver, Product Manager 
etc.

Is it even possible to have a single decision about what would go in each 
level, or would this tend to vary in different user organizations?

If this were something configurable would it need to be on a screen level, on a 
form field level, or something even more detailed?

Also I tend to agree with Ruth: the difficulties is to categorize features 
before, I begin in French long time ago, never ended... other priorities came 
along...

Hi Hans:

IMHO, you would just be adding to the confusion. How does someone know if they 
are a beginner? And, what are the basic features in each component? Who decides 
basic vs. full featured?

On the other hand, now that I'm thinking about it, maybe this is a good idea. In the 
process of deciding what is basic and what is "full featured" you will need to 
do some documenting. At a minimum you will need to record functional capabilities on a 
component by component level. A much needed addition to the OFBiz community if you ask me!

Just my 2 cents.
Ruth

In general it is accepted that OFBiz is having too much functionality
which can be really overwhelming.

We are thinking about introducing a user preference in function levels:

for example:
1. beginner
2. intermediate
3. full feature.

The beginner will only see the basic features in the components however
the system will be fully functional.

The intermediate person will see more functions but not everything..

And the full feature will show everything what is there.

Anybody any opinions or thoughts about this?

Regards,
Hans
