That's something we want to add in the next few months. In the mean time, maybe there are some ACL tools in Joomla which can do the job ? Otherwise, the solution will be to hack hikashop to check the user and the controller in the file administrator/components/com_hikashop/admin.com_hikashop.php Please [Log in](/login?return=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuaGlrYXNob3AuY29tL2ZvcnVtLzItZ2VuZXJhbC10YWxrLWFib3V0LWhpa2FzaG9wLzExMDc0LW1hbmFnZXItcGVybWlzc2lvbnM/dG1wbD1tYXJrZG93bg==) or [Create an account](/register) to join the conversation. - **[BRupholdt](/forum/user/2684-brupholdt "View BRupholdt's Profile")** - [![BRupholdt's Avatar](https://www.hikashop.com/media/kunena/avatars/resized/size144/users/avatar2684.jpg)](/forum/user/2684-brupholdt "View BRupholdt's Profile") - [ Offline](/forum/user/2684-brupholdt) Less More - Posts: 29 - Thank you received: 2 - - 15 years 2 months ago [\#24151](#24151) by [BRupholdt](/forum/user/2684-brupholdt "View BRupholdt's Profile") Replied by *[BRupholdt](/forum/user/2684-brupholdt "View BRupholdt's Profile")* on topic *[Re: Manager Permissions](/forum/2-general-talk-about-hikashop/11074-manager-permissions#24151 "I am outsourcing some affiliate program management to Ryan Jones from GreenAffiliatePrograms.net. I would like to upgrade his permissions so he can see/use the Affiliate management kind of things but...")* I have setup HikaShop on a customer site and am ready to deploy. I went to give their user group permission to access the component (orders and products) only to find there is no permissions? This was the only thread I could find on the topic. I'd happily try to hack the admin.hikashop.php file if I could understand what it's doing. I have two user groups I need to give access. Right now they can't see HikaShop in the back end at all. Since there is no fine-grained permission support, I can work with an all or nothing approach for now and hope for better permissions support in the future. Or better yet, front-end access! That would keep them away from configuration areas and still let them add products and retrieve orders. Ah well. One day... I must say, this is the first place where HikaShop has disappointed me. Everything else about it has been great. (OK, I really don't like the way characteristics are handled but it works.) Can you tell me what I need to do to hack admin.hikashop.php so HikaShop will display for a specific user group or two?

You can manage the access levels of user groups via the "access level" tab of the configuration.
