Manage Role Access to Class and Taxonomies

This is an administration feature that restricts a user’s access to Class and Taxonomy levels. The feature ensures that the user works directly with the articles they are intended to be responsible for.

Key Term:	Class: a class defines the base configuration for products.
Description:	Restrict access to particular levels of class and taxonomy to a particular role. Role access can be configured within the organization as well as for partners. Use the administration section to configure access.

Application:	The admin has the ability to restrict the rights of various roles within the organization and its partners so that they only have access to areas under their responsibility. Example: Retailer XYZ has Supplier A and Supplier B. Supplier A provides furniture and Supplier B provides electronic goods. So, when restricted by admin, Supplier A will only see his products: Furniture. Similarly, Supplier B will only be able to access his products: Electronics.
