In the HikaShop backend you can't access to that information when you display the customer profile ; but you have a button in the toolbar to display the Joomla user profile. I clearly understand your feature request and your point of view. It could be an interesting feature but we have to be really careful with that. The Joomla user groups can give more than price accesses, it can also provide a backend access to an account. That's why, if such feature is integrated in HikaMarket ; the admin won't be able to assign any usergroup to users but only few selected one and HikaMarket should not touch the rest ; like it should not allow to edit an account who have some admin accesses (or give admin access).

Is there another way to achieve my goal. F.I by using discount for certain customer groups? Is there a difference between joomla group and customer group?

HikaShop (and HikaMarket) are integrated with Joomla ; so it uses the Joomla accounts and the Joomla user groups. Thanks to that integration with Joomla, it allows our components to also be integrated and compatible with other Joomla components.
