You're welcome, Missy. It was nice trick with Authentication Required in your situation. Also thank you that you reported about issue with editing product from frontend.

I found an ACL Manager that works GREAT.  You basically give backend access to your client for Virtuemart ONLY!  It is a great tool.

and, the support is second to none.  AMAZING!

Give it a try.  Saved me tons of time!

ACL is now already native in vm2.0.22 svn

But the real answer to the problem is that atm only super administrators are allowed to store products. In vm2.0.22a the ACL is not there and the system we used is quite simple and what you see there is just something we did not take care yet, because it does not happen for superadministrators and for any more rights for administrators we need the ACL, therefore the simpelst is to grant superuser rights.
Should I fix your bug, please support the VirtueMart project and become a member

You are correct in that the simplest thing to do is grant superuser rights.  However, I do not want my client to have the access to everything.  And even though the ACL is built in, you will spend a ton of time setting it up.  ACL Manager is simple and only takes a few minutes.

It was the best solution for me and sounds like an excellent solution for Missy.
