To grant access to your store database to another person without administrative rights, you have to register a new role, and specify the rules for your employees to manage data. This is possible due to the Access Management feature.
To use it, choose the "Store" tab and click the indicated button:
Next, select "Users and Permissions" from the drop-down list:
A warning message dialog will appear. To proceed, select [Yes].
Important. Store Manager is creating new tables sm_user_rights and sm_user_permissions
In order to delete the permissions, you can delete the tables via SSH command or via PHP MyAdmin, in MySQL database directly.
By default, you will have Administrator rights (login and password at startup are "admin"). Press [Add Role] to add users and provide them with access to your store data.
Open the "Roles" tab, and press the [Add] button. Specify the "Role Name", in the displayed form.
Typical examples are Manager, Senior Manager, Operator, or Seller, etc.
Press [OK] to save your entry.
Unselect the "Administrator rights" checkbox, to set special permissions for the current role.
Specify what features will be available to the newly created role (viewing, modification, or both). You may also manage already existing roles (add, or remove access details, delete roles from the list, or create additional roles, and, or, permissions).
You may also change the default username, and, or, password, by pressing the [Edit] button, located on the toolbar.
Once a role has been created, you can proceed to add a new User and assign it to an appropriate role. Select the "Users" tab, and press the [Add] button. In the form which appears, complete the required information:
Specify "User Name", set and confirm "Password", choose the user's account status ("Active" or "Inactive"), etc.
You may also change the "Role" details. For this, choose the relevant option from the drop-down list:
By assigning roles to users, you assign permissions to users, that have been prior set up, for the role. E.g., if the role "Manager" has permissions to only view certain options, like "Custom Reports", "FTP Queue", "Attributes", but not modify them (not edit, add, delete, import or export), then the user "Nata", who has been assigned the role of Manager, will only be able to view (not modify) these options, but will be able to view, and modify, other options:
Once a role and user are established in Store Manager, you may check the new Account's status, by switching from the user, "Administrator", to a newly created user.
Press this button to open the drop-down list of commands.
If "Logout" is selected, a message requesting confirmation of your actions will appear.
After pressing [Yes], in the resultant pop-up window, you will be able to login to the new account, in the corresponding form.
Every time a user launches Store Manager, they should specify "Username" and "Password" in the registration form to work with the program. Note that the Access Management feature is primarily used to assign permissions for managing your store, within Store Manager. If you need to specify limited (non-administrative) rights to users, access the "Admin" panel in the back-end.
To disable Access Management, in Store Manager, click the relevant button from the drop-down list.
Subsequent to this action, anyone will be able to work within the program, even without providing identification, with "Administrative" rights, and permissions, assigned by default.
