User Permissions

[William_firefold]

I just wanted to revisit this since we are currently running in to similar problems as in this thread:
viewtopic.php?f=47&t=6626&hilit=User+Groups

Here is what I think I know:
-There are user groups, such as 'Admins' , 'Catalog Admins' , 'Order Admins' . Users can be assigned to these groups.
-User groups have a permissions "title" such as 'Admin', 'Manage Catalog', 'Manage Orders'.
-Access is controlled with the Admin/ menu.sitemap file. Any edits made to sections on this file must be recursively applied to the config files in the sub-directories that you are changing.
-In the file, in each roles area you want to modify, you add the permission title from the user group, not the group name.

The problem I am having is that I want to create new user groups for different types of employees and I need more permission titles, but there is nowhere on the user group page to edit or add such a thing.
How can I create more permission titles and attach them to groups?

I couldn't figure that out either. The only way I could see doing it was adding the data directly into the ac_Roles table.

[William_firefold]

Do you think that would be sufficient to create more permissions?

[jmestep]

The only thing I can say is to try it--create the role, put the role in the web.config files and see if it works.

We will take a stab tomorrow.

Since we have multiple divisions we have quite a few needs when it comes to this.

In AbleCommerce 7, how easy is it to create custom Group permissions? Now, AC has a very defined set of Group permissions (admin, jr. admin, catalog admin, order admin, etc). We want to create some more specific Groups with more fine permissions (where an order admin could VIEW orders, for example, but would not be able to EDIT any orders).

Possible? Easy? Difficult?

Thanks,
