B2B ecommerce

[Chris Snow-3]

Is it possible to use ofbiz in a B2B ecommerce environment where only
authorized users are allowed to place orders through the ecommerce front
end?

Many thanks in advance,

Chris

Yes, this is supported OOTB (and has actually been in there for a  
number of years).

There is a setting on the Product Store (Catalog Mgr -> Store) to  
require a role association with the store to login. Set that flag to  
Y, and then only parties associated to the store in the Customer (if I  
remember right) role will be able to login and place orders.

Thanks for the reply - that works as described.

Is it possible to configure ofbiz to prevent users from "browsing" the
webstore unless they are in the customer role?

Many thanks,

Chris

Off the top of my head... the only way to do that would be to edit the  
WEB-INF/controller.xml file for your B2B webapp and change all  
requests to require auth (ie require login).
