Advanced Permissions

Description

Here's what Advanced Permissions can do out-of-the-box:

  • Limit access on the Store View, Website, or Category level
  • Customise role resources on different levels
  • Customise permissions for each role

Note

Initial setup

Go to STORES → Settings → Configuration → AITOC EXTENSIONS → ADVANCED PERMISSIONS OR Admin → AITOC → Aitoc → Advanced Permissions → Configuration to choose global settings (they can be altered for each particular user role):

Setting Purpose
Show All Customers You can show or hide your customers from sub-admins. If this is set to "No", sub-admin with restricted permissions will see customers from the website of the allowed store only.
Show products without categories You can show or hide products from sub-admins. If this is set to "No", the sub-admin will not be able to see products that don’t have any category assigned. Only Super Admin will be able to see such products.
Allow deleting products, images, categories You can allow or restrict product management related to deletion. If this is set to "Yes", sub-admin with restricted permissions can delete products, product images or categories that they see.
Hide Content with “All Store Views” scope You can show or hide content that has the "All store views" view assigned from sub-admins.
Allow to update global attributes You can allow or restrict sub-admins to update global attributes.

User role settings

Each user role (apart from super admin) can be completely customized. It can use global settings or have its own set of settings.

Note

Make sure you always select the access before creating new rule.

Note

Always make sure to select correct Role Resources before saving the user role.

Note

Move the toggle away from “Disable” to limit sub-admin access either by Store View / Category or by Website.

Each user role has a unique set of Attribute permissions and product creation permissions:

The module also provides functionality to restrict access to Order, Invoice, Shipment as well as Credit Memo based on their status. So for ex: You can restrict orders for the user role so that the sub-admin assigned to that user role will only be able to see orders if it is having the status "Complete". If an order will have any status other than "Complete", they won't be able to access that order.

This way you can customize sub-admin permissions so that your sub-admins have access only to a specific part of the store and can manage their specific products.

You can tweak the settings in a way so that sub-admins don't have access to other sub-admins products. Each sub-admin will be doing his part of the job without interfering with other people's work.

To apply user role to a particular sub-admin, go to System → All Users and open user settings. Assign the required user role and save the user.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why sub-admin can't see and access anything in Magento admin

For this kind of issue, you should always cross-check if the correct Role Resources and Access have been selected. This kind of issue usually happens when the admin forgets to select access or select correct admin role resources when creating a new user role.
