Now you can set up access permissions to work with the product catalog. Your employees will see only the information they need and won't be able to accidentally delete an item or change its price.
Access permissions are represented as a list with buttons to enable and disable catalog features. You need to create a role and assign it to an employee or a department. After that, enable the access permissions for a certain role.
Where you can set up access permissions
Go to the CRM section – Settings – Access permissions – Products and warehouses.
You can also go to the settings section from the product catalog page. Click on the gear icon and select – Access permissions.
How to configure access rights
By default, there are the following roles in the form: online store administrator, online store staff and warehouse clerk. You can create new roles or add employees to existing ones.
To assign roles to employees or departments, click "+" and select the people.
Then enable access permissions for each role.
What access permissions can be set up for the product catalog
The access permissions are divided into 3 sections: Products catalog, Product catalog options and Settings.
Products catalog
View product catalog
An employee with this access permission can view all products in the catalog.
Make sure that employees who work with deals and delivery documents have the access permission to view the catalog. If an employee does not have this access permission, he/she will not be able to select products in deals and inventory management documents and send products to the client in the open channel chat.
View product purchasing price in the catalog
An employee with this access permission will have access to information about the purchase price of the products. Make sure that this access permission is available to the employees who are processing the Stock Receipt and entering the purchase prices.
If an employee does not have this access permission, he/she will not be able to set the purchase price.
Create product
An employee with this access permission will be able to create a product or a service in the catalog, in the deal form and in the inventory management documents.
Enable this access permission only for those employees who fill the catalog and can create new products.
Note! If you have allowed the product creation without saving it in the catalog, the access permissions do not apply to such products, so they are not saved in the catalog.
We recommend deactivating this option so that all product deals are regulated by access permissions and you can always be sure that everything in the catalog and deals is correct.
Edit product
An employeeĸ with this access permission will be able to change product properties, add and delete product variants, and upload product photos.

Publish product in the online store
There is an option in the product form which allows you to publish or unpublish an item in the online store.
