what does "link party" actually do?

[Patrick-4]

I want to have a group with multiple users where anyone in the group
can modify a catalog.  I found the "link party" button, can you tell
me what it does?

create a party group that is the owner of the catalog.
then add the parties to the group

link party links two parties together

Hi BJ,

So does 'link party' allow the children parties to perform the same tasks as
the parent party?  Is this in all aspects of ofbiz?

Many thanks,

Chris

look at
applications\party\webapp\partymgr\party\linkparty.ft

the ability of a party is defined by the roles and security of a party.
if you put the party under the Party Group then they share the roles
Assigned to the party group but also have their roles and security
independent of each other party.
