The search field will help you locate the group or user you are looking for, and the Show
field will limit the number of items displayed.
•
Click the user, group, company, or department to assign ownership to.
The function of “owner” is to ensure that someone can always get to the category (even
if s/he does not otherwise have access rights). It exists in order to prevent a situation in which
you would inadvertently configure yourself out of access to the category.
• Click Add User, Group, Company, or Department. On the Select Security Principal... dialog:
• In the first drop-down select the category of user to whom to assign access to the category:
Built-in Groups, Users, Groups, Companies, or Departments.
The search field will help you locate the group or user you are looking for, and the
Show field will limit the number of items displayed.
• Click the group, user, or company to assign access to.
Note that if you have checked the box Enable Relational Branding Catalog Security
on the Site Settings > Basic Settings tab, you will only be able to select a Company(ies) as
security principal to which you can then assign permissions to Purchase Items.
If you use relational branding, please read the following note carefully.
In most cases in which you have two or more relational branding sites, you will
want to restrict pre-login (i.e., “anonymous”) visitors to relational company-
branded sites to seeing only those product categories intended to be seen by
members of the company the site is branded for.
For example: Say you have two relational branded sites—one for Company A
and another for Company B. Each company has different product offerings. You
do not want customers of Company A to see products offered to customers of
Company B (and vice versa). The remedy is to restrict product category access
(e.g., Purchase Items permissions) to members of the appropriate company so
that Company A members can see only those product categories intended for
Company A customers (and likewise for members of Company B).
To ensure that this category access by company works properly, complete these
steps:
(1) Go to the Site Settings > Basic Settings tab and ensure that the box Enable
Relational Branding Catalog Security is checked. This will ensure that you can only
set Company-level security for any new categories created.
(2) Set the Purchase Items permission for a category for a specific company or
companies.
Note that if the Purchase Items permission is set to any user/group/department
(e.g., from a pre-4.7 version of Digital StoreFront), click Remove to remove them
