Definition of User Types

[sinsalaco]

I was wondering if anyone had the details of each different user Group type.
What are the differences between Super Admins and Admins, etc...

Thank you.

Hello Sam,

This has been documented but that portion of the doc's hasn't been posted yet so here ya go.

Built-in roles for the AbleCommerce 7 Admin groups:

Super User - This user can do anything including view audit logs and assign admin
permissions. When you install AbleCommerce 7, the user you create will be a member
of this group. (Required for PABP)

Admins - Members of this group can do everything a Super Admin can do except for
accessing other Admin user profiles, assigning Admin permissions to anyone else,
and viewing of certain security features like the audit log, encryption keys, and
database string.

Jr. Admin - Members of this group can do everything an Admin user can do except for
access the Security menus, edit any other Admin user, or change any User Group permissions.

Order Admins - Members of this group can work with orders and nothing else.

Report Admins - Members of this group can view reports and nothing else

Catalog Admins - Members of this group can work with the catalog and nothing else.

Website Admins - Members of this group can modify website settings, scriptlets, aspx
pages and nothing else.

What if I need a user to be able to access both the catalog area and the order area??

Hello,

Give them both group permissions.

Ah I c. Thank you.


One other question. Is there anyway to create your own permission bases off of the existing permission criteria?
