Thanks Scott,
Is this using the 'Parties' tab? This doesn't actually seem to do anything or am I missing
something? There is also a 'Parties' tab on the catalog admin page. Would 'ProductServices.xml'
require modification for this to work? To clarify the objective is to make only certain products
(or categories of products or catalogs) available to certain users. I think that these should be
invisible and not appear if they are not available to the user but any granular level (e.g. unless
the customer was associated with the product then they couldn't purchase it although they may be
able to buy it). I am looking to test this feature if it exists (and document it).
Thanks and best wishes
Ian
