Vendor accessing products of whole store

Hi,

The "root category" set to "no" will allow the vendor to create products in any category of the website ; they won't be restricted to their own category.
But a vendor can just edit his own products and can't modify product of someone else ; otherwise it would be a security issue.

Users of the main vendor (also known as "your vendor") can edit all products of the store, like you can do in the HikaShop backend.

Regards

Hi,

In HikaMarket, the vendors can't copy products in the front-end.
There is a plugin which allow to duplicate products when a vendor account is created ; it is a plugin used for providing some kind of "starter product package" when new vendors.

Otherwise, there is the "vendor" characteristic which allow vendors to create their own variant for the product. When displaying the product page, they will see a "+" button or an edit button depending if they have already a variant or not for that product.
But these products are not displayed in the vendor product listing ; mostly because we can't be sure that they could see them in their categories.
I have already a task in the TODO list in order to display these special products in a dedicated page (accessible thanks to a toolbar button when seeing the vendor product listing).

For the product duplication ; it is something which has been already asked but I do not have full specifications yet.
We can't authorize vendor to duplicate any product and I was more thinking about an improvement of the "product template" system where the vendor could choose a product template when creating a new product (if they are several available product templates).
