Thanks very much to everyone who responded to this. It has been very
helpful and I've decided to have one 'retailer' whose products are split
up and managed by a number of 'Producers'. This will, in effect, work the
way that David has suggested I think and I'm just playing with the latest
Sequoia build to see if I can realise this.
I would like to find out more about how the permissions work as this will
be central to this project. In particular the existing 'limited catalog'
permissions as you mention below do, indeed, seem to be the way to go here
but I'm having a hard time trying to work out how these are set.
Is there any way to restrict access to individual catalogs using the
security groups?
Thanks and very best wishes
Ian
