In previous versions of Cart Viper we had two roles that you could use to assign management options for the store admin page.

  • Manage Orders
  • Manage Store

The Manage Store role give you the ability to do all the day to day task such as creating products, updating categories etc. However it also give you all the setup options for defining a payment gateway and tax options.

Displaying the full range of options available can be overwhelming to some store owners, the store owner’s technology partner has already taken care of setting up the payment gateway and tax options for example.

Manage Store role options

To create a simpler experience we’ve created a new role called Manage Catalog this allows uses with the defined role to see a more streamlined store admin page tailored to managing products, reviews, categories, coupons and promotions.

Manage Catalog role options

If you where to assign a user to both the Manage Orders and Manage Catalog role then they would have a simple store admin page that allows them to run their store without displaying all the configuration options for payment, tax, shipping etc.

Manage Catalog and Manage Orders roles assigned to a user

Defining the roles required for each security group is set using the Store Admin page, simply select from the drop down the role required.
