Attribute privileges, think about it as an exclusive club you only can get into by being on the list. We implemented that idea into our PIM system. Now you can limit who and what can see or do in your system. Maybe you want your SEO team to only have access to specific attributes, or someone from marketing to be able to change product descriptions, but not be able to mess with what SEO is already done. Now it’s all possible thanks to ACL.
So how does it work? The first thing you need to know is that from now on, all attributes must be assigned to an . One attribute can be assigned to one attribute group only.
Second thing is that you need to set up User roles and add users to them. It’s easier to set up right to a role than to every user one by one.
Here, you can assign edit and / or read rights to the attributes group. That means that if you choose to do so, you may give some users the right to edit or fulfill some attributes and some can be set up as read-only. Of course, you may choose some roles to not be able to do both. In this case, simply uncheck both boxes. Users with those roles will see something like this when they open the .
There's also the "Privileges to all attribute groups" option. If you click that, that user role will get instant read and write permission to all attributes, even those created in the future. If this stays off (default) you will need to set up permissions for all newly created manually.
