Was this information Helpful?

I would like to pass on a site that has Ubercart to the owner for updating products.

I cannot seem to find a way to enable permissions to allow a different role other than admin to edit the products at each product page.

I created a Role = editor for this person.

When you click on the product with admin permissions the edit box is shown to change the product item.

When you click on the product with editor permissions the edit box doesn't show to change the product item.

I've missed something somewhere in permissions.

I could sure use some help on this

I forgot to mention.. I don't want to pass on permissions for "all elements" of the products.

The content management/content pages are too complex and allow to much opportunity for editor user to mess up products.

would like for the user with editor role/permissions to click on the product as a normal purchaser on the site does, see the edit box and be able to edit those entry items.

Workflow menu settings etc., in the content management section will just make it too easy for the editor user to mess things up.

Re: Edit permissions for product item... what do I do for all no

Guess it's up to me on this one.

I just made a complete backup and gave the owner full admin permissions.

Sad to say it, but it is hard to believe this kind of issues have not been dealt with appropriately in UC.

Re: Re: Edit permissions for product item... what do I do for al

This is a very bad situation I'm in on this issue.

I've got a site owner that is so computer illierate she doesn't even know how to use the right-click function. She will be making these changes.

I can only imagine what a mess I'm going to have tomorrow.
I can't believe this is the way of it. If this is it, then I'd say this is a major issue that needs a fix.

You just can't turn over full admin permissions so product items can be edited or deleted.

Sorry folks, but I'm going to have to persist on this issue. This one situation alone requires it.

You don't mention which permissions you have checked, or which similar forum posts you've read, so I'll list what my quick search came up with:
http://www.ubercart.org/search/apachesolr_search/edit%20product%20permis...
specifically-
http://www.ubercart.org/forum/support/2131/product_edit_permissions
That post suggests input format as a potential culprit, may give you a lead.

So, yes, you probably did miss a permission. And, as for being all on your own, you posted on a weekend, have some patience, or pay for your urgency.

Re: Re: Re: Re: Edit permissions for product item... what do I d

I read every positng i could find on this site, using search.

I enabled all permissions described for node module and every UC item, along with making sure FCKeditor was default for editor and admin,etc.

I realize it was the weekend, but my site owner wanted to fix the site over the weekend. I've not heard from her and I've not gone to the site to check it out. I want to digest my breakfast first.

Maybe there is an entry I can make in a Mysql field to fix this. I don't care if it's a workaround.

I plan to take the time to re-read and study every related post on this forums. I have to resolve this, because I now have three sites with UC installed. Everyone of the sites is being maintained by site owners with editor permissions. So, I know when they want to make changes in products I'm back to square one again.

Thanks for your response
