# Product Privileges

## **Overview**

This feature allows administrators to set privileges for users to edit or preview only specific product collections they are assigned to. Users can have access to a specific group of products or all products, as defined at the administrative level.

## **Assumptions**

* **Product Privileges based on Collection**: Privileges are based on the products [collection ](/products/collections.md)they are assigned to.
* **Feature Availability**: This feature is not available in all price tiers.
* **Product Creator Permissions**: The product creator always has permission to access the product they created.
* **Ergonode Transfer and Product Importer**: The user who imports a product becomes the author and automatically has permission to the imported (created) product.
* **Batch Actions**: Batch actions can be triggered regardless of product privileges. The app will notify users of the details of the action if they lack certain privileges (e.g., status batch actions).
* **Users**: Product privileges are set up per User

### **Two-Way Relation**

* Users can indicate a relation only to products to which they have edit privileges.
* When the user activates the Two-way relation switch and then selects a product with Read-only access, the Two-way relation switch is automatically deselected, and a notification appears in the corner.
