Ian,
Permissions ...
Take a look at the login: ltdadmin and the category: TSTLTDADMIN
Plus
Security group: CATALOGADMIN_LTD
And permissions CATALOG_ROLE_UPDATE, CATALOG_ROLE_CREATE,
CATALOG_ROLE_DELETE
I would suggest one category for each Person containing the products they
can edit eg CAT_FOR_PTY_XXX and apply the catalogRole for PartyId: XXX and
Role: LTD_ADMIN(??or similar)
My recollection is that when editing a product you need either
CATALOG_ADMIN/UPDATE or CATALOG_ROLE_UPDATE on the **Category**
I'm not sure how this works on a Catalog basis ... But if you look at the
Test Catalog, it has the "Admin Allow(One)" Type.

Subject: Re: [OFBiz] Users - Application for industry regulator ...
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
