Hi
What is the purpose of adding users to 'Shop Staff' or 'Shop Owner'?
I thought adding a user as Staff would assign some role to the user giving him limited access to the Shop's Control Panel and the Shop Owner would be assigned 'Shop Administrator' access...But I could see no change to the users access;
How do I use the 'Shop Deliveries', 'Sales Assistant' and 'Sales Assistant Supervisor' roles? I've assigned the 'Shop Deliveries' role to an user, I thought he would have access to 'Orders' only but I could see no additional access; I then also added the user to 'Shop Staff' but could still see no change in his access;
Regards
Andre
Hi Andre,
The shop staff mechanism allow the reuse of the common roles. So for example you may have a user that is a Shop Manager for a single shop. So the Shop Staff page is used to grant specific users access to the adminsitration of the shop and then there roles are used to configure there access permissions. We have beed discussing how we can enhance this so that the users are managed more easily and this will be added in later releases.

Hi Rob
I am not sure I follow. If I add a user to the Shop Staff page...should that assign Shop Roles to the user automatically? Or do I still have to add the Role to the user 'manually'?
I could not see that adding an user to Staff had any effect; I thought the 'Control Panel' would appear on the menu bar and that they would have access to the shop's administration according the access specified in the Roles;
Even adding all the Shop Roles to an user and adding the user to the Staff page, did not give the user access to the control panel....or am I missing something? Except adding the Shop Administrator Role gives the user access to the Shop Control Panel of all Shops;
I guess what I am after is...can you give specific users limited access to specific shops only?
You can give specific users access to specific shops by using the owner field in the Create Edit Shop page in system adminsitration. The staff mambers allows for more granular control, so that a user that is assigned the ShopAssitant role can be granted access to a shop using the staff members page, ie excluding ShopsAdministrator role which gives shopadministration access to all shops the other roles grant specific permissions, but these permissions only come into affect when the user that owns the role is added to the staff member list.
I have been in discussion with Gary (AKA Genius) and he has a plan to make this easier to understand and configure.
So you assign the appropriate roll to the user then you add the user to the staff list of a shop?
Would that mean that a user can not be on the staff list of 2 different shops and have different roles for each shop? For example he can't be 'Shop Sale assistant' of Shop#1 and 'Shop Deliveries' of Shop#2. If I understand you correctly,both roles would apply to both shops;
This is not a requirement for me, just an observation
I've assigned the 'Shop Deliveries' role to an user and also added him to the Staff List...but I can't see that it had any effect...should the Control Panel be visible for the user? Or how would the user/staff update the delivery status?
( There is a typo in the role description..."Can updated order delivery status, and view cutomer orders")
Andrevs:This is not a requirement for me, just an observation
Yes that is currently correct and the only way round it at the moment is to allocate different roles, we will be addressing this.
Andrevs:should the Control Panel be visible for the user?
Yes should be able to see the control panel menu option, but the menu is restricted to certain users roles the least privileged of these if the Moderators role, so I beleive the user must be in the moderator role to see the menu option.
