PERMISSIONS ... Administration > People > User Groups

Post by bobr2k » Tue Oct 30, 2007 3:33 pm

Documentation for 7.0 ... is there a document that spells out the functions or permissions intended/recommended for each user group?
Admins Admin
Catalog Admins Manage Catalog
Jr. Admins Jr. Admin
Order Admins Manage Orders
Report Admins View Reports
Super Users System
Website Admins Manage Website

Can a person have "multiple personalities"?
What is your concept of what permissions a Jr. Admin should have?

This post is old but I figured I would answer it for anyone searching..

'Super Users' can view/edit all aspects of the store including the security settings, and audit log required for PABP.

'Admins' can view/edit all aspects of the store except the security settings, and audit log.

Jr. Admins can view/edit all aspects of the store as the Admin can but are unable to assign other users as Admin users.

Order Admins can only access the order fulfillment areas.

Catalog Admins can only access the edit/add categories, and products.

Website Admins can only access the layout, and themes areas of the administration.

Report Admins are only allowed to view the reports. This prevents the folks in marketing from breaking the store by clicking around changing things to see what it does.

Thanks for the summary. I had guessed much of this but your summary makes it a lot easier to explain to the customer.
