Visibility of products to other users

[rogu-beta]

I encountered an odd issue that currently has us stumped. As a superuser I can see all products that have been created, without any issues. However, it seems that products created by a user, with e.g. staff status and the engineering role, are only visible to himself. Another user who is also an engineer with staff status cannot see the products created by the other users. There appears to be no settings for controlling the visibility of each product. Our intention is to collaborate with multiple people on the same product, how would this work?

I'm really surprised by this, because I remember this having worked in the past. I'm not sure if I am misremembering because the permissions assigned to the test user may have been different.

Hi @ghsa-retrieval You can set the Object Permissions on a Product to make it visible to other users who are not superusers. I am sorry this is not better documented, and I will make a point of creating a How-To section for this in the DejaCode documentation.

You need to go the Admin part of DejaCode to do this by going to the dashboard or by selecting Products from the righthand dropdown. Once you have selected a Product from the Browse Products list, you'll see a button in the upper right of the form called Object permissions and that will take you to a form that enables you to assign permissions by individual user or by permission group or both. See screenshots. Please give it a try and let us know if you need any help with using that feature.

Perfect, that works! It is a quite a bit hidden, so it would be much appreciated if this could be made part of the documentation.
