as a Web Designer how do YOU limit access in Prestashop?

[basmistry]

OK, so you setup a ecommerce site with Prestashop

 

eventually its time to hand over to the user....

{this my 1st one in PS and its only a catalog at this stage}

 

Users want to be able to add products / processor orders etc

add / edit / remove categories

Change CMS info

 

They will also want to Update banner images (there are other areas too)

 

To do this users MUST have access to Modules - am I right ?

 

Once access to modules is given - they can do almost anything either deliberately or accidentally

 

Are there any plugins available to enable access to specific modules ?

 

I've used Wordpress before - Plugins allow complete restriction to most things even take out ALL Wordpress reference

 

I prefer to LOCK down as I don't want users to PLAY with things which can be real source of problems

Hi,

Are the Users you're talking about from one company or several different ones? Are you trying to build a marketplace? if so i would go with a Marketplace Module without granting any access to the back end. If you're setting up prestashop for a company you can restrict access by creating a new user group and limit access like that.

one company but they have regular staff changes !

 

I have created new users and limited access 

but the problem as I see it is apart from dealing with Products, CMS & Orders - almost everything needs access to Modules

and then its a FREE for all !

 

this defeats the object of access rights 

 

As an example the Slider - from marketing point of view this needs to be done regularly

by the user without calling in the webdesigner 

 

Can't add just Slider to Admin menu without giving access to Modules

What version of PrestaShop are you using? On my PrestaShop v1.6.1.7 test site, on the Administration > Permissions tab, I can see a list of Modules on the right. Untick all the boxes for a module to prevent the user configuring the module.

In Permissions you can restrict or llimit access to modules. Please see attachment.

Don't know why I didn't see a whole list of modules on the right !!

 

Thanks - I got it now !

for me I want to know if any of my files change, while marketed at hack/trojan/etc. PrestaVault monitors any file change, so if someone installs a module, it will notify you.  Search for PrestaVault and sleep better. 

 

Back up back up, from hosting do not trust back  up modules, have 7+ days of hosting back up and and restore...
