Sorry David:
I believe you are correct in that I misunderstood the question. What I
should have said to you is: I have tried adding roles and roletypes to
products, categories and catalogs in both the trunk and version 9.04 and
it does not work or is broken. I don't know which since I'm not 100%
certain how to set this up. I tried several scenarios none of which
work. The best I was able to achieve was controlled access to the
Catalog Manager based on security groups.

Ruth

Hi David:
I tried your solution. It causes errors in the trunk and in version
9.04. Since it is not documented anywhere how to do this, its pretty
hard to report it as an error or a bug.

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.
