Title: Control access to products (or category) via Shoppergroup or ACL?
Post by: Martin Beaumont on June 23, 2021, 06:30:58 AM
Hi there,

I'm trying to determine if it's possible to offer my clients access to a restricted selection of products once they login to the store?

A number of clients allow staff to order branded uniforms via the website, of course I want each company to only be able to order their own branded selection, and no one else's. Is that a possibility?

If so, is it done via shoppergroups or some other method? Do I need a 3rd party plugin to achieve this?

Grateful for any info, many thanks.

This is possible with standard VM. Just mark each collection which usergroup is able to acccess it.

You have to of course create a usergroup for each collection and assign this to the relevant user.

Thanks Jörgen

By usergroup are you referring to the core Joomla ACL 'User: Groups' or the Shoppergroup - part of VM?

Cheers, appreciate you responding.

Regards

With user groups i actually mean shopper group, sorry for the confusion. If You look under Product information i VM BE You will see Shooper group (Available to All) as an option.
